John Kirby, spokesperson for the US National Security Council, announced a significant Serbian military deployment along the border with Kosovo, including an “unprecedented” deployment of artillery, tanks, and infantry units.
NATO stated in a press release on Friday that it has authorized additional forces to address the current situation in Kosovo. However, the exact number and countries of origin of these additional forces have not yet been specified.
Kosovo, which declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 following a guerrilla revolt and NATO intervention in 1999, accuses Serbia of arming and supporting Serbian fighters.
The Romania-Kosovo match was interrupted for an hour when a group of Romanian fans displayed the message “Kosovo is Serbia.”
