Radio Free Europe reporting both Kosovo police and NATO forces have now deployed additional units in north Kosovo (Balkan News Roundup)
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

According to Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets:
On the administrative border between Serbia and the so-called "Republic of Kosovo" units of the Serbian army are in full combat readiness and are waiting for orders.

Starting tomorrow, Pristina will no longer recognize Serbian internal passports (personal card) that all Serbs in northern Kosovo have. New rules for the entry of cars with Serbian numbers will also begin.

Aleksandar Vučić has long and unambiguously hinted that new provocations are being prepared in the region, and not without the help of Western "partners". And today the head of the Serbian Foreign Ministry said that "Albanians are preparing hell in Kosovo and Metohija." Against the background of all this, the Serbian Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began joint anti-terrorist exercises.

At the same time, according to local residents, Albanians have been taking their relatives out of the northern municipalities, which are dominated by the Serb population, for several days in a row. Yesterday, the equipment of the Kosovo special forces ROSU was also seen, which is again being transferred from south to north.

The entire northern part of Kosovska Mitrovica is plastered with posters "we don't give up, Serbian documents remain"

In the afternoon, air raid sirens were heard in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, shooting was heard on the administrative line and the first wounded were reported.

Hundreds of Kosovo Serbs come out to the barricades being erected.

Armed Albanians are gathering in the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica, units of the Serbian Armed Forces are on full alert.

No other details have been provided yet. At the same time, the Kosovo police claim that there were no casualties during the clashes in northern Kosovo.
More from regnum.ru:
Serbia has transferred military aircraft to airfields located near Kosovo, CNN reports, citing informed sources.

Armored vehicles and special forces of the self-proclaimed Kosovo arrived in Kosovska Mitrovica, RT reports.

As REGNUM reported earlier, Kosovo police units moved out of Pristina to the north of Kosovo and Metohija, where protests by local Serbs are taking place. At the same time, the security forces were in full gear and with special equipment. Together with them, several ambulances went north.

#4 Over a hundred years of wasted resources and manhood trying to save Europe from itself. There was a reason America's forefathers either left or were thrown out of the place. It's like wasting time trying to revive druggies who just go looking for another hit and repeatedly overdose.

#8 A Ukrainian family I was in contact with in 1992 said there was no use in intervening. The two sides have always fought and they always will.

Interesting the parallels between now and 1856. The negotiations that will follow this will set the stage for WWIII, for sure.

#9 ^ As long as no one assassinates some random archduke, we should be good. Besides, I have no doubt the grownups would step in to prevent WWIII and its disastrous consequences.
(OK, OK, I thought this about the current Rus v Ukr special op too)
