Serbia has frequently increased the number of military forces near the border with Kosovo in recent years. Such a warning was also made during this time. Experts say that such movements are a psychological game to keep Kosovo under tension.
The deployment of increased Serbian forces near the border with Kosovo, which has been occurring continuously in recent years, is seen by security experts as a psychological game to keep the country in tension.
Also, such movements are made for internal political consumption in Belgrade, at a time when many developments are taking place. The situation is considered calm, despite the fact that attempts at tension may continue, as such behavior is expected from Serbia.
Lieutenant Colonel Refki Morina told A2 CNN: "In one way or another, they are trying to play a psychological or special game against Kosovo, against statehood and sovereignty, but we know that Serbia has no chance of having a frontal war because we have KFOR troops, EULEX, Kosovo Police... they are interconnected and we also have our army."
Security expert Arben Dashevci said: "They have been continuous and are the same, nothing has changed. They are continuing because I see them as a shift in their attention towards the internal problems they have in the Republic of Serbia."
In such a situation, despite the fact that the current movements of the Serbian army are claimed not to endanger the security of Kosovo, the forces guarding the northern border are required to be attentive and careful.
"We must be vigilant despite the fact that Serbia is conducting such military and gendarmerie maneuvers along the border with Kosovo, but KFOR, EULEX, and the Kosovo Police must also be vigilant, despite the fact that it may undertake various hybrid actions that in one way or another may destabilize the northern part, but also attempt to destabilize Kosovo as a whole and the Balkans," Morina declared.
While politics is required to be clear in raising such concerns with international chancelleries. Dashevci says: "We must be on the move, we must inform everyone based on diplomacy and politics: here is Serbia's rhetoric and show them the true face of what they are up to."
Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti stated that the increased presence of the Serbian army on the border is in response to the "Defender Europe" exercise, although he added that it is not clear whether this is Serbia's own action or something requested by Russia.
