Unrest threatens Kosovo Serbs’ ‘Last Bastion’

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 23:00:01 GMT

Leposavić, KOSOVO — North Kosovo’s “Last Bastion” is still standing. Just.“I don’t feel safe,” says Vlado, the bar’s owner as he gazes from the patio towards several rifle-toting American soldiers standing behind a cordon of concertina wire across the street. “Nothing’s OK here.”That last point may be one of the few things upon which just about everyone in this hard-scrabble mining town would agree.Tensions flares anew on Wednesday after Serbia arrested three Kosovar border police guards. Belgrade claimed they ventured across the border (which Serbia doesn’t recognize), but Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti insisted they were abducted and taken to Serbia. The incident is just the latest twist in a spiraling crisis that threatens to rekindle a violent clash between the two sworn enemies despite intense efforts by the U.S. and Europe to restore calm.For the past two weeks, American and Italian peacekeepers from KFOR — the international peacekeeping force stationed here sin...

And in the lead-up to Ukraine’s counteroffensive, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his top aides strove to explain this reality to both nervous allies, impatient for military progress, and their own people, eager for the big counterattack to kick off and hear good news from the front lines.In the run-up to the long-awaited counteroffensive, which started to unfold last week — later than most anticipated — Ukrainian Minister of Defense Oleksii Reznikov was worried that expectations were “definitely overheated.” “Everyone wants another win,” he said, cautioning allies to temper their hopes, so as to avoid subsequent disappointment.The worry here is that falling short of expectations might lead to a reduction in international military assistance and renewed, often oblique, pressure to engage with Moscow in negotiations. “They want the next victory. It’s normal, these are emotions,” Rez...
