A video showing Serbian troops reportedly being deployed to the Kosovo border has emerged online, as tensions grow between the two countries over new restrictions imposed on the Serbian population by Kosovo's government.Local media report that the Serbian AF have been put on high alert due to the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, where restrictive measures are expected to be imposed on the Serbian population.
These policies, which fundamentally aim to treat ethnic Serbs in Kosovo exactly like ethnic Kosovans are treated in Serbia, have outraged Serbs living in Kosovo and angered the Serbian government, which does not recognize Kosovo's independence. On October 29, Kosovo once again agreed to delay a rule to confiscate cars owned by ethnic Serbs who refuse to comply with the new legislation on car plates in order to avoid aggravating ethnic tensions.
