Not Now, Europe. Second War Threatens to Explode

[Gefn]

As Russia’s unprovoked war in Ukraine heads towards its one-year anniversary, another European flashpoint is in danger of reigniting a second war on the continent.

Kosovo was at the center of the last all out-war in Europe in the late ‘90s and tensions there have never fully dissipated.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has this week put his army on its “highest level of combat readiness” to protect ethnic Serbian areas in northern Kosovo he says are under threat from Kosovo. Vucic says his military will “take all measures to protect our people and preserve Serbia.”

Serbia places security forces on Kosovo border at state of 'full combat readiness'

Kosovo declared independence in 2008 but Serbia refuses to recognise this and has repeatedly warned it will protect local Serbs "with all means" if they are attacked.


Serbian security forces on the border with Kosovo have been placed on a state of "full combat readiness".

The order was given by Serbia's interior minister Bratislav Gasic, who said he was acting on instructions from President Aleksandar Vucic so that "all measures be taken to protect the Serbian people in Kosovo".

Kosovo has not responded to the move.
