Outline of Kosovo

As the agreement between Kosovo and Serbia on crossing borders using only IDs comes into force tonight, a big disclaimer written in English and Serbian on the Serbian side of the frontier reminds the public of Serbia's continued non-recognition of Kosovo's independence.

The Kosovo government has allocated €40 million to cover unpaid electricity in the four Serb-dominated municipalities in the north. The funds will be allocated to the Kosovo Energy Distribution and Supply Company, KOSTT.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic condemned the Kosovo government's latest decision about licence plates for Serbs living in northern Kosovo, claiming its goal is "to expel Serbs, especially from the north of Kosovo and Metohija". He said Kosovo's goal was "to make a new Storm", referencing the Croatian army operation in 1995, codenamed Storm, that forced most Serbs to flee Croatia.

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selakovi, who added that these efforts, on the contrary, threaten to destabilize the political and security situation in our region.

The Kosovo Security Force announced that it will be part of the international exercise "KFOR 30", at the invitation of the USA, with the contingent of the company of the National Demining Guard.
The exercise will take place at the U.S. military base Hohenfels in Germany, which started today and will last until February 28, reports Clan Kosova.

According to the EU office in Pristina, they will stay in Kosovo and Metohija from today until Wednesday, February 2.

Namely, according to the media, that group sends exclusively reports to its headquarters, which are negatively intoned towards Serbs and the north of Kosovo. Such intelligence is also used as a cover for approving the actions of the Prime Minister of self-proclaimed Kosovo, Albin Kurti, through special units in the north of Kosovo.

Serbia will be represented at the session by Foreign Minister Nikola Selakovi, while Vjosa Osmani, President of the interim Kosovo institutions, will represent Kosovo.

Albania, Kosovo and North Macedonia have expressed readiness to temporarily host an undefined number of Afghans fleeing their country after Taliban forces seized control over the weekend as the United States pulled out.

Citing its diplomatic sources in Brussels, the Democracy portal states that Spain has already made this decision.
"Former Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell, now in charge of EU foreign policy, has played a key role in this step," Democracy quoted a "well-informed diplomat" saying.
