Kosovo-Serbia Monastery Shootout: Deadly Standoff Ends with Multiple Casualties

Kosovo blames Serbia for a deadly shootout at a monastery, where armed men took refuge after killing a police officer. The incident comes amid escalating tensions between the two countries, with Kosovo accusing Serbia of supporting organized crime. Kosovo's President called for international support to establish peace and preserve sovereignty. The international community has urged de-escalation, warning that the conflict could jeopardize EU accession for both countries. Discussions between the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia recently failed, and Serbia's President accused the West of hypocrisy in recognizing Kosovo's independence.
