Tension continues… Pristina’s reaction to Belgrade

As tension between Serbia and Kosovo continues, Pristina accused Belgrade of advancing its army into Kosovo from “three different directions.” The fact was revealed in a statement sent by the Kosovo government by email to the German Press Agency on Saturday afternoon.

Units of the Second Brigade of the Serbian army advanced towards the northern border of Kosovo from Raska, units of the Third Brigade moved from the Niš region towards the northeastern border and units of the Fourth Brigade moved from the Vranje region towards the border Oriental.

On Friday, Serbia sent soldiers and police to 48 forward operating bases located a few kilometers from the border with Kosovo. While it emerged that Serbia had also deployed anti-aircraft systems and heavy artillery, the government statement stated that Kosovo was “more determined than ever to protect its territorial integrity” in coordination with international partners.
