Serbia's prime minister on Monday visited a Serb-dominated part of neighboring Kosovo following a recent flareup in tensions between the former war foes that had sparked fears of new instability in the Balkans amid the war in Ukraine.
Kosovo authorities and NATO-led peacekeepers stepped up security as dozens of Kosovo Serbs greeted Ana Brnabic upon arrival in Mitrovica. The northern Kosovo town near the border with Serbia has been divided into Serb and ethnic Albanian-dominated parts since the conflict in 1998-99.
