Sirens sound in northern Kosovo, background unclear - report

The Serbian president had stated Serbia has "never been in a more complex and difficult situation [with Kosovo] than it is today."

Air raid sirens were heard in Mitrovica in northern Kosovo on Sunday afternoon, with reports by local media indicating that a large presence of emergency vehicles was seen throughout the area. The sirens were stopped after three hours, according to local reports.

The sirens come as Kosovo officials prepared to require Serbians visiting Kosovo to replace their Serbian passports with a temporary ID while in the country and to require Serbian license plates in the country to be replaced with Kosovar license plates.

Kosovo Police announced on Sunday evening that they had closed the Bernjak and Jarinje border crossings to traffic due to roadblocks set up on these roads. The roadblocks were reportedly set up by local Serbs who were protesting measures set to be put in place by Kosovo overnight. Other border crossings are working as normal according to police.

The police made no mention of the sirens.

'Serbia has never been in a more complex and difficult situation than it is today'
On Sunday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that Serbia has "never been in a more complex and difficult situation [regarding Kosovo] than it is today," according to N1 TV.

Vučić asked for all sides to keep the peace, but warned that "If they don't want to keep the peace, I'm telling you - Serbia will win."

Two years ago when Trump was in office, things were “good” between Serbia and Kosovo. Joe is a disaster for world peace because he’s weak and his admin is focused on all wrong things

Another great accomplishment of the Biden administration: they destroyed the peace! Check the date:

Europe, the gift that keeps on giving .....

Kosovo conflict, (1998–99) conflict in which ethnic Albanians opposed ethnic Serbs and the government of Yugoslavia (the rump of the former federal state, comprising the republics of Serbia and Montenegro) in Kosovo. The conflict gained widespread international attention and was resolved with the intervention of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).  [...]

Tensions between Albanians and Serbs in Kosovo continued into the 21st century. Sporadic violence occurred, as when anti-Serb riots broke out in March 2004 in numerous cities and towns in the Kosovo region. The riots claimed some 30 lives and resulted in the displacement of more than 4,000 Serbs and other minorities.

In February 2008 Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia (Yugoslavia had ceased to exist in 2003, giving way to the federation of Serbia and Montenegro, which itself dissolved in 2006).

Ah, NO!  Call Brussels again

It is now crystal clear to all (as it was always to some of us) that #Kosovo & #Serbia NEED a 🇺🇸-led dialogue for mutual recognition & final peace, after #EU’s continuous failure to bridge the 2 countries to a common denominator & sanction 🇷🇸 for non-implementation of agreements!

A career NSC official just told me Joe Biden hasn’t been briefed on Kosovo-Serbia yet and @JakeSullivan46 doesn’t have time to fully engage on it - so he is leaving it up to lower level staffers to handle.

It’s another mistake in their judgement.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) August 1, 2022

It’s amazing how many Europeans view today’s Balkans crisis with a 20 year old pair of glasses.

The NGO dinosaurs in Berlin and Brussels don’t even know that the current issue is about mutually recognizing license plates & ID cards.

This isn’t a Russian-made conflict.— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) August 1, 2022

This $h!t again?

It was a mistake for the West to support the Albanian Kosovars.

This decision was contrary to the policies of the 1990s New World Order to maintain exisiting borders.

Allowing Albanian nationalists to carve out a piece of Serbia for themselves, gave Russian nationalists the green light to carve out pieces of Ukraine, Muldova, and Georgia.  These will most likely be stepping stones or justification to Russia to re-conquer territories lost during the disolution of the Soviet Union.

Kosovo was Clinton's "Wag The Dog" effort to get the Monica Lewinsky affair out of the headlines.

The Kosovars are Islamic gun runners and drug traffickers. But that's the side Clinton, et al., took against the Orthodox Christian Serbs.

Thank you for mentioning that.
Serbia is Christian.
Kosovo is muslim.

I'm on the side of Christianity, and always supported the Serbs.

Onward, Christian soldiers!
