Kosovo War

To this day, that wire separated members of KFOR and Serbs who have been gathering at the municipal building for days, demanding that members of the so-called police leave the municipal buildings in the north of Kosovo, which they forcibly entered, introducing the Albanian mayors.

The Turkish commando battalion requested by NATO has arrived in Kosovo to assist in quelling recent violent unrest in the Balkan country.

The Turkish Defense Ministry shared a video on June 4 showing troops wearing the insignia of the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force departing from Türkiye and arriving in Kosovo.

KFOR is still located in the immediate vicinity of the municipal building and on all approaches to Zvean.
The Serbs insist on the demands that the Albanian presidents of the municipalities do not enter the official facilities, that the special police officers also leave the buildings, and that the arrested Rado Petrovi and Duan Obrenovi be released.

President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui, was a guest on the show "Prva tema" on TV Prva. He spoke about the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, about protests, about elections and attacks from the region.

Either way, however, the strategy of integrating the north into the rest of Kosovo is in disarray; the question now is whether Kosovo can hang on to anything more than nominal sovereignty over its rebellious municipalities.

Local self-government officials are still unable to go to work in Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Zvean.
The Serbs around the local self-government buildings were joined by the miners of Trepa, who cannot work either, because the flotation plants in Leposavic are also blocked.

She recalled that every time they tried to take photos or videos, "even when we approached the windows of the café, we were attacked by protesters".

"The windows of the café broke; they [protesters] threw rocks at it when we approached the windows to film. The situation was very difficult," she explained.

Pristina Basic Court on Thursday remanded two Serbian citizens, Sinisa Jevtic and Ivan Sekulic, in custody for 30 days after they were arrested the previous day at the Jarinje border crossing point with Serbia.

They are being held on suspicion of terrorist activity, hooliganism and unauthorised possession of weapons.

A smaller group of Serbs remained on the watch in front of the municipalities during the night, and new gatherings began immediately in the morning.

CHISINAU - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told Tanjug on Thursday he had spoken with representatives of Serbs in the north of Kosovo-Metohija in the morning to ask them to persevere in their fight for law and justice, but in a peaceful manner, especially during encounters with Kfor troops.
