Tensions are high between Serbia and Kosovo after Serbia charged three police officers from Kosovo, who were allegedly kidnapped by Serbian special military units, with illegal activities. Kosovo's Prime Minister accused Serbia of the "kidnapping," while Serbia insists it legally arrested the officers inside its territory. The dispute adds to tensions between the two countries that have flared into recent violent clashes in the Serb-majority north of Kosovo, stirring fears of a renewal of the 1998-99 conflict in Kosovo that left more than 10,000 people dead. The US, EU, and other Western countries have called for de-escalation and the release of the detained officers.
