Recent tensions between Serbia and Kosovo have flared anew following a raid by Kosovo’s police on Serb-dominated areas in the north of the region, which included the seizure of local municipality buildings. This incident ignited violent clashes between Kosovo’s police and NATO-led peacekeepers on one side, and local Serbs on the other, resulting in dozens of injuries on both sides. In response, Serbia has increased the combat readiness of its troops stationed near the border. It prompts the question: are we returning to the times of war?
