Washington: The United States is monitoring a large and “unprecedented” Serbian military deployment near Kosovo.

The presence includes advanced Serbian artillery and mechanized infantry units, which Washington views as a destabilizing development.
“We’re going to be monitoring or we are monitoring a large Serbian military deployment along the border with Kosovo. That includes an unprecedented staging of advanced Serbian artillery and mechanized infantry units. We believe that this is a very destabilizing development,” Kirby told a briefing.
