NATO approves more peacekeepers for Kosovo
Jens Stoltenberg has announced that NATO has approved additional peacekeeping forces in Kosovo after unrest along the Kosovo-Serbia border.
"We call on all parties to urgently de-escalate.
"We continue to urge Belgrade and Pristina to engage in the EU-facilitated dialogue as the only way to resolve outstanding issues and reach solutions that respect the rights of all communities.
"This is key for lasting security in Kosovo and stability in the region," The NATO secretary general said.
Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti welcomed NATO's decision, claiming that Serbia wants to destabilize the region with the help of Russia.
"These people want to turn back time," Mr Kurti said.
"They are in search of a time machine. They want to turn the clock back by 30 years. But that is not going to happen.
“We need NATO because the border with Serbia is very long, and the Serbian army has been recently strengthening its capacities, and they have a lot of military equipment from both the Russian Federation and China."
Serbia has a history of close ties with Russia and has attempted to remain neutral since the all out war in Ukraine broke out.
