The unusual thing about the Kosova-Serbia conflict, is not that Kosova seceded and declared independence, because everyone in Yugoslavia seceded. It is that Serbia does not recognize it.

Breaking! Syria has recognized Kosova!

Thread on Local Elections in Kosova 2025.
The first round of #Kosova’s local elections has set the stage for a highly competitive run-off.
Most parties held onto the municipalities they, but the majority of races are heading into run-offs.

The man who financed a paramilitary attack in Banjska and refuses to this day to hand over the terrorists, is now talking about stability. There is nothing more stable to the region than NATO allies supporting a Kosovar state to defend itself.

Watched Vucic's interview for Newmax. He literally starts by lying about Trumps popularity in Serbia. Trumps actual popularity in Serbia is at 44% and below Putin and Xi. (IRI poll Sep. 2025). Serbia is not an ally of the U.S.

Serbian Paralell structures in Kosova are used to intimidate and threaten local Serbs. Local politician Petrovic and Ristic, who ran against the Serb List, state that Kosovo-Serbs in those institutions have been either fired or had a massive reduction of salary for not supporting the Serb List.

In 2023, YIHR identified 250 graffitis "When the army returns to Kosovo" around Serbia. Now 🇷🇸 engineer Danijel Dasic said that State Auditor of Serbia, during an audit of the Serbian Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, found that this ministry spent €217k for the murals.

Në çdo palë zgjedhje lokale në Kosovë fillojnë shakatë për asambleistat. Në një shkrim për Sbunker kam folur për rëndësinë politike që mund të ketë asambleisti në përfaqësimin e lagjës e fshatit në kuvendin komunal

Mes talljes dhe votës: pse kandidatët për anëtarë të kuvendeve komunale në Kosovë duhet të merren seriozisht
Deri në vitin 2023, paga bazë e anëtarëve të kuvendit komunal (asamblistit) ishte vetëm 220 euro. Për vite me radhë, paga e ulët e ka bërë pothuajse të pamundshme që subjektet politike të rekrutojnë i...

Wanted to read something from Africa and opted for this anthology. The Penguin Book of Modern African Poetry contains poems from various poets of the continent. I especially enjoyed the political ones.

Fun-fact there are more Kosovar-Swiss players playing for Kosova than Switzerland.
While Switzerland has only Xhaka (who played for them before the Kosovar team entered FIFA), Kosova has at least 5 Swiss-born players, with Avdullahu being the latest addition.

A thought-provoking! In The Denial of Death, Ernest Becker argues that much of what we do is shaped by our fear of mortality. To cope, we create “immortality projects” in the form of families, causes, nations, legacies to have a lasting impact in the world. #raftiimehes

Why does every political movement in 🇷🇸 feel the need to prove its “patriotism” by obsessing over a state that is neither ethnically, culturally, nor politically Serbian? The lack of corruption & anti-corruption protests in 🇽🇰 says it all.

Some major hiccups from former 🇺🇸 Ambassador to Belgrade, Chris Hill, in an interview with RFE:
He advises Kosova to form an Association with limited sovereignty in North Mitrovica (?!), but at no point in the interview does he advise Serbia to do anything.

Refreshing to see a Serb author reflecting on Serbia’s colonial legacy in Kosova. Had Serbia been pushed to confront its history, we might have a peaceful Balkans today and even good neighbourly relations. Instead we deal with historical revisionism and ongoing enmities.

Looking at indices like this, one might wonder why Kosova remains at the bottom of the EU integration, despite ranking as one of the most democratic countries in the region. The answer is simple, but cynical: the EU is more focused on using Kosova as leverage on Serbia than treating it as a state

Just a reminder that Kosova's path to EU membership is conditioned by its relation to a person who flies to Moscow to attend Putin's Parade while Russia is under sanctions by the European Union.

President of Montenegro Jakov Milatovic took note, among others, of the concerns raised by the Albanian community in Ulqin and did not sign the agreement on the privatization of the public beach of Ulqin. A move that will resonate with many in Ulqin.

After visa liberalisation with EU, the international standing of the Kosovar passport continues to improve: today Malaysia lifted visas for Kosova, following Israel, Thailand & Emirates. Since 2024 the passport was also recognized by Spain, Cyprus (with EU visa liberalization) and Armenia.

In a recent interview President Vjosa Osmani stated that Kosova has confirmation of recognition by 24 out of 25 derecognitions claimed by Serbia. Many of those states Serbia claims have derecognized Kosova, have met Kosovar officials and signed bilateral treaties.
