Just when you thought the tensions between Serbia and Kosovo couldn’t get any worse, a deadly siege at a Serbian orthodox monastery in the restive northern part of Kosovo has laid open the faultlines. An estimated 4 people including a Kosovar policeman were killed in the incident that has been described as one of the worst escalation in years.
Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti described the siege of the monastery as nothing less than an incursion by ‘Serbia backed criminals’. While the Serbian President Alexander Vucic has blamed Kosovo for what he alleged as months of ‘provocations’. Ever since Kosovo declared independence from Serbia just 15 years ago in 2008, the relations between Belgrade and Pristina have been frosty at the best of times.
But what has sparked concerns with this incident is the willingness of factions in the region to use violent means to achieve political goals. Mohammed Saleh gets you more details.
