Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has reportedly put his military on high alert following raids by Kosovo police in an ethnic Serb-majority area of the breakaway region.
Vucic has accused Kosovo’s authorities of attempting to “criminalize” and intimidate ethnic Serbs as he vowed to protect them, Serbian national broadcaster RTS reports.
Kosovo special police (ROSU) launched a raid in the town of Zubin Potok in the region’s northwest. Gunfire was reportedly heard and armored police vehicles were seen on roads as police arrested alleged 13 ethnic Serb residents.
Kosovo’s foreign minister tweeted that the operation targeted members of an “organized crime network involved in smuggling, bribery, etc.”
