Kosovo's government has postponed the implementation of new rules that would force people in majority ethnic Serb areas to swap their Serbian-issued car number plates for Kosovan-issued ones.But on Sunday ethnic Serbs in the north barricaded roads and armed men fired shots in protest.Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in February 2008, nearly a decade after it broke away following a bloody war which saw Nato bombing Serbia.
Some 50,000 people living in majority Serb areas of the north use licence plates issued by Serbian authorities and refuse to recognise Kosovan institutions.The Kosovan government's decision to introduce new rules, including replacing Serbian license plates with Kosovan ones, led to clashes. Nato described the situation as "tense" as hundreds of ethnic Serbs parked trucks, tankers and other vehicles near two key border crossings with Serbia in protest over the new rules, forcing the police to close the two crossings.it was prepared to intervene "if stability is jeopardised"There were also reports of shots being fired by armed men, though Kosovo's police said they had not received reports of any injuries.
Serbian President Alexandar Vucic also said he expected tensions to "de-escalate" following the rules' postponement.Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia continue despite the two sides having committed to engage in EU-sponsored dialogue to try to resolve longstanding issues.
Kosovo is Serbia
Just like the british government intervened in the Fokland Islands in the 80s just to keep peace and lives of their soldiers, we are doing the same DEFEND OUR TERRITORY and OUR PEOPLE FROM KOSOVAN TERRORISTS GOVERNMENT and president Osmani!
Lol. Stop worrying about Serbia. Your people are hungry and poor, electricity is shout down all the time wvery fcnkng day and your country is not in UN and its NOT recognized by half of the world.
Such thing as ''Kosovo' doesn't exist. UN doesn't recognize it. But according to UN Kosovo and Metohija is province in Serbia. So yeah, you just talked to 'president of occupied teritory of Serbia' sponsored by USA and its Western hegemony. UN_Resolution_1244 🇷🇸
Democracy doesn't allow for minority oppression yet here we are, all forgiven to puppet states fullfilling obligations
'Democratic way of life' are you serious? Their govt is founded on western backed terrorism and a NATO invasion and occupation, which facilitated the ethnic cleansing of 100s of thousands of Serbs and Roma people from the territory.
Sorry JFK didn't recognize you
Kosovo We want reciprocity nothing else
Valla shkije jeni vet
God, she's ugly. There, I said it Ugly as sin. Ugly Uglison from D'ugliville of the Horrorsovo province
Democratic way of life in 2021.
Why you did not ask her about killing of Serbians and devastation of Churches ?
Lies and more lies from this woman. Why does she not get challanged by Kirsty? Kirsty you should be ashamed of yourself for not asking a single question that matters. Must be because UK is complicity in this crime against another nation.
democratic way of life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
President is very correct in her answers. Serbia hasnt moved one inch towards any reconciliation with Kosova and instead is only raising tentions and preparing for some denazification of Balkans. Meaning they want to kill everybody. Balkan people know Serbia and its intentions
Democratic way of life = verbally & physically assaulting Serbs & other non albanians on a daily basis, forcing them to basically live in ghettos, burning their churches, vandalizing their cemeteries, downplaying/ignoring war crimes against them
If they are such democracy, why do they still need visas to visit most of European countries? Even their sponsors don’t trust them
She could as well just read the statement, for all the journalism that BBC showed in this interview.
Cheap propaganda! But, is that a criticism of many EU countries that also buy gas from Russia despite (not global) sanctions? This tactics of blaming Serbia for everything is very dangerous, but you can do it forever!
Poor effort by the journalist to critically examine anything she said.
Now this is a whole new level of disgusting propaganda and bad faith. Especially considering that Ukraine doesnt recognise Kosovo* due to the fact that Putin is using their example to justify his own imperialism. Honestly, this is just poor journalism and even worse rethorics.
BBC there is one lie in this Osmani talking. They are not honor Brisel agrement cause they are not working on Serbian town community and area...
A weak interview: 1. Doesn't challenge Osmani's unsubstantiated claims about Russian influence, Serbia's 'genocidal' intentions or the lie about Kosovo fulfilling terms of Brussels agreement (e.g Association of Serb municipalities) 2. No Serb representative invited for rebuttal👎
Amazing response to this pro-Serbian interviewer who blames Kosova
Well said President 🇽🇰.
For the western audience who is waking up to their imperialist transgressions SERBIA IS UNDER ILLEGAL MILITARY OCCUPATION BY NATO.
The pretext for NATO to invade and annex Kosovo from Serbia was a lie from the get go. No different from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya. Western Imperialist lies to further colonize the world.
You are a president of Serbian autonomous region. Stop lying to the world as Kosovo will never become UN, UNESCO, INTERPOL, EU or NATO member without recognizing your status as integral part of Serbia. Kosovo is comparable to Faroe Islands
This is the fashism this is the slavic Union Rusia and Serrbija to kill evryone of us Demokratik union of Europa and USA
Jihadist democracy
The lady is the leader of a terrorist and mafia state that distributes drugs to Europe while carrying out ethnic cleansing and burning down Christian monasteries in Kosovo. She didn't tell a single truth in the whole speech.
👏👏👏
To force Serbia to acknowledge Kosovo and metohija as independent is to acknowledge the Donetsk and Luhansk peoples republics as legitimate states.Kosovo=SRB,Donbass=UKR 🇷🇸🇺🇦.it’s called TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY.
Omfg. What did i just watch?
She is very well-spoken
You go Kosovo - you’re on the right side of History - European, Western values. Let Serbia enjoy Putinism and CCP values. We love you.
HAS TRUSS APOLOGISED YET? It's time Truss apologised for being so disrespectful to Scotland, the Scots people & our democracy. She should also apologise for her audience who wanted to 'build a wall'. Hardly a 'Union of Equals' SCRM itvnews bbcnews
There's no such things as 'global sanctions', the rest of the world doesn't have to follow the West's orders (although this NATO shill does, since her 'country' belongs to NATO.
