Here's a quick Kosovo primer: Province of Serbia, occupied by NATO in 1999 after the 78-day (illegal, illegitimate) air war. Serbia's sovereignty was guaranteed by UNSCR 1244, which the US and NATO ignored. Ethnic Albanian separatists, to whom NATO handed over power, declared independence in February 2008; it was first recognized by the US-backed puppet government of Afghanistan.

Serbia, Russia, China and about 100 other countries — including five EU members and even Ukraine — do not recognize Kosovo as independent. Even so, the US and EU are trying to pressure Belgrade to do so. The preferred method is "frog-boiling," having the ethnic Albanian government impose "constitutional order" by abolishing Serb documents and institutions, replacing them with "Kosovian" ones.

Most of the occupied province has been ethnically cleansed of Serbs (and other non-Albanians), with several major enclaves remaining around medieval monasteries in the south, and a chunk of territory in the north where the local Serbs basically self-organized in 1999, and have prevented Albanian control ever since. These people set up roadblocks back in 2011-13 and even held a referendum to rejoin Serbia, but the government in Belgrade sold them out.

The most recent attempt by "Kosovo" to impose its documents on the north, in September 2021, led to Serbian military being placed on alert and fears a war might break out. So now, Pristina authorities spiced their move up with accusations that Serbia was staging some kind of attack, on behalf of Russia, hoping the Western public high on Ukropium would buy it.

The latest news is that the US ambassador asked Pristina to back off for a month, and they agreed. This suggests the move may have been their own, and not orchestrated by Washington. Or that they need to buy time to prepare better...
