Kosovo delays planned Serbian border rules after tensions rise
Budget: $2 – $8 USD
The implementation of new border regulations, which prompted unrest in the country's north where ethnic Serbs blocked roads and unidentified gunmen opened fire on police, has been delayed by the Kosovo government for a month.
Following the incident, which left no one hurt, the authorities blocked two border crossings with Serbia on Sunday.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but the majority-Serb population in the region's north does not accept Pristina's rule. They continue to be politically loyal to Serbia, which continues to help them financially.
