The Escalating Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia

China has expressed support for ethnic Serbs in Kosovo, who are clashing with NATO peacekeeping forces following regional elections. Ethnic Serbs account for only 5% of Kosovo's population, but half of them live in the north, where tensions have been brewing for months. China's support for Serbia's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity has added fuel to the flames, alongside Russia's opposition to NATO efforts to stem the aggression. The US and EU have called for calm, but experts warn that Lavrov's comments are part of a larger Kremlin scheme to divert attention from Russia's war on Ukraine.
