Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia have escalated after the detention of former Serbian police officer Dejan Pantic.
Reacting to Pantic’s detention, Kosovo Serbs have been standing guard at the barricades they set up at the Jarinje and Bernjak border crossings since Dec. 10.
The EU, NATO and the US has urged a de-escalation and the removal of barricades in northern Kosovo while Serbia has requested to deploy its army and police based on a UN resolution.
