      Keyword is if. Vučić loves saying inflammatory shit like this, it raises his popularity. He is a EU puppet, no chance that he will start anything.

          I fully understand, comrade. War is not in anyones interest here, especially not mine, as a Serbian male of fighting age. But these sorts of situations are no surprise for us, as this is the third or fourth time something similar has happened in the last 4-5 years.

            No shit? Are you saying the whole Serbian-Kosovoian conflict is best summarized as a mix between light border skirmishes and aggressive posturing by either side that's occurred almost yearly for the past few years?

            If thats a yes or close enough, then all I got to say is :jesus-christ:

              Aggressive posturing? Yes. Border skirmishes? No. But things like this have become commonplace since Serbia signed the Brussels Agreement and gave Kosovo de facto independence. This is the maybe fourth time that Albanian spec-ops came to Northern Kosovo (which is predominantly Serbian) and our people start resisted by protesting and calling for Belgrade to do something. Nothing actually comes from this because both the Serbian and Kosovar governments are western puppets. The end result is that both voter bases get riled up, Serbs in Northern Kosovo are put under a tighter grip by Pristina, and everything goes back to normal in two days.

              Also this is not even the riskiest crisis in the last 12 months. In October people were actually wounded. This looks to be tamer that that.

                :huh:

                I guess at this point we'll just sit and wait to see what time brings to us comrade. Also if you are willing and able to, could you please keep us notified of events in your region if anything outside of what's unfortunately normal for you or your countrymen occurs?

        Some of the recent tweets seem to indicate that the Kosovar army is planning to attack at midnight. Hopefully just a bluff.

          Doubt it. There's no indication of anything similar in Serbian media. I can also see that the account that tweeted that also said that the US wouldn't intervene in case of a conflict between Serbia and Kosovo, which is definitely bullshit, as one of their main military bases in the region is in Kosovo.

            Alright, makes sense. Yeah, lol, I doubt Serbia would be on the verge of war without saying anything.

              Serbia have a bunch of armored vehicles and technicals. Do they even have tanks or artillery?
