The latest round of violence comes after tensions have risen between the two historic foes, jeopardizing Serbia and Kosovo's EU-sponsored talks on normalizing relations.
Kosovo called on Serbia on Monday to hand over all those involved in a shootout between Kosovar police and ethnic Serb gunmen that killed four people in the restive north of the country.
Kosovo police confiscated dynamite, mortar shells, hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and anti-tank mines. "Preliminary intelligence analysis suggests that the persons involved in the deadly clash near the village of Banská in northern Kosovo on Sept. 24, were connected to Serbian special forces and Russian military intelligence," Rebekah Koffler, president of Doctrine & Strategy Consulting and a former Defense Intelligence Agency officer, told Fox News Digital."The attackers appeared professionally trained and some of them spoke Serbian and Russian.
Ambassador Dugolli claimed that this fits a pattern of deliberate behavior of Serbia toward Kosovo in recent times.
