NATO chief says violence in Kosovo unacceptable, calls for constructive dialogue with Serbia

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg says recent outbreaks of violence in Kosovo are unacceptable and those responsible must be brought to justice. Stoltenberg was in Serbia on Tuesday, the second day of his tour of the volatile Western Balkans. His trip reflects Western concerns about the stability of the volatile Balkan region which saw a series of wars in the 1990s. Serbia and Kosovo have seen rising tensions following two violent incidents in May and September while the war raged in Ukraine. Stoltenberg urged Serbia and Kosovo to engage “constructively” in a European Union-mediated dialogue aimed at normalizing their relations.
