I fully understand, comrade. War is not in anyones interest here, especially not mine, as a Serbian male of fighting age. But these sorts of situations are no surprise for us, as this is the third or fourth time something similar has happened in the last 4-5 years.

No shit? Are you saying the whole Serbian-Kosovoian conflict is best summarized as a mix between light border skirmishes and aggressive posturing by either side that’s occurred almost yearly for the past few years?

If thats a yes or close enough, then all I got to say is :jesus-christ:

Aggressive posturing? Yes. Border skirmishes? No. But things like this have become commonplace since Serbia signed the Brussels Agreement and gave Kosovo de facto independence. This is the maybe fourth time that Albanian spec-ops came to Northern Kosovo (which is predominantly Serbian) and our people start resisted by protesting and calling for Belgrade to do something. Nothing actually comes from this because both the Serbian and Kosovar governments are western puppets. The end result is that both voter bases get riled up, Serbs in Northern Kosovo are put under a tighter grip by Pristina, and everything goes back to normal in two days.

Also this is not even the riskiest crisis in the last 12 months. In October people were actually wounded. This looks to be tamer that that.
