NATO to Deploy 700 More Troops to Kosovo Amid Mounting Tensions

HeadlineMay 31, 2023

NATO has announced it will deploy another 700 troops to northern Kosovo after at least 52 protesters and 30 NATO peacekeeping troops were injured during protests on Monday. The protests were held after Kosovo sent armed forces to install ethnic Albanians to serve as mayors in four heavily Serbian areas where ethnic Serbs had boycotted a recent election. On Tuesday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić blamed the hostilities on Kosovo, which Serbia does not recognize as an independent country.
