The NATO mission in Kosovo (KFOR) reinforced its presence in the cities of the north of the country, the scene of a new escalation of tensions in recent days, and said it was available to carry out “all the necessary actions to guarantee security in the area » The latest wave of incidents began during the April elections, which were boycotted by the Serb community living mainly in the northern part of Kosovo.
“We call on all parties to refrain from actions that could increase tensions or cause an escalation,” KFOR said, pledging to work towards “a safe environment” and “freedom of movement for all communities” as per its mandate. The Kosovar police also increased their presence in the northern area, where there were new clashes today with Serbian demonstrators who forced the agents to use tear gas. Just the last of the episodes that have occurred in recent months, with increasingly frequent moments of tension in the region.
