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.

Explosive-laden drone found near Moscow, US engine suspected.

Ethnic Serbs boycotted local elections in four municipalities in northern Kosovo with ethnic Serb majorities, resulting in low turnout and victories for Kosovo's ruling party in two mayoral races. The dominant ethnic Serb party, Serbian List, which enjoys the support of neighboring Serbia's government, announced the boycott. The result could further step up tensions between ethnic Serbs who are mostly loyal to neighboring Serbia and Kosovo's central government that represents the country's overwhelmingly ethnic Albanian majority.

Ukrainian Counteroffensive Imminent Amid Dnieper Crossing Reports

Extraordinary local elections were held in four municipalities in northern Kosovo with ethnic Serb majorities, but the dominant Kosovar Serb party boycotted the votes, resulting in a turnout of just 3.5% of eligible citizens. The Vetevendosje party of Prime Minister Albin Kurti won the mayoral races in North Mitrovica and Leposavic, while the opposition Democratic Party took races in Zvecan and Zubin Potok. The areas voting maintain close ties with Belgrade, which continues to oppose recognition of Kosovo's independence. The Serbian List party has demanded the formation of an Association of Serbian Municipalities and the withdrawal of special units of the Kosovo Police from north of the country.
