The outbreak of violence in the north of Kosovo shocked the German government, which has condemned it "severely".

But the German media is also following the developments in Kosovo with great attention.

"Handelsblatt" expresses concern that Kosovo is once again on the verge of a new major crisis. "Whether the desired de-tensioning will be achieved is uncertain. The Government of Kosovo made Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić responsible for the developments. The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti wrote on Twitter on Monday evening that 'in a democracy there is no place for fascist violence' - Vučić, for his part, blamed Kosovo and claimed that the police there shot at members of the Serbian minority. before the protests escalate - Vucic claims that Kurti wants blood."

And in a comment by Erich Rathfelder for "tageszeitung" with the title "The West that forgets history" it is underlined that "in the current conflict in Kosovo and also in Bosnia we experience how superficial the debate has become regarding the Balkans, how little criticism they receive those diplomats and politicians who move the screws in the Balkans, without learning from history. They do not understand that the strategy of curbing autocratic and nationalist systems with softening policies is wrong.

Rathfelder notes that we are still far from stabilized peace in the region, although 24 years have passed since the war in Kosovo and adds that this is probably related to the fact that the lessons from the Kosovo war are no longer anchored so deeply in today's politicians and the generation of journalists, and political decisions are made that do not emerge from the lessons of the past, and thus new conflicts arise, the "tagezeitung" emphasizes.

The newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" under the title "Mayors of Albanian municipalities for Serbian citizens" writes that "the latest escalation was understood last week, but the signs have been given since a month ago. They are related to the municipal elections, which were held in April in the four northern municipalities. These were announced after the Serbian population in the north of Kosovo, including the mayor, in November 2022 as a sign of protest against the policy of the Kosovar Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, withdrew united from local institutions... to take the seats in the empty municipalities, Kurti organized the elections in the affected municipalities, which were almost completely boycotted by the Serbian population... The EU criticized it immediately after counting the few votes a month ago, that such elections are not a long-term political solution for the conflict in the north of Kosovo... The EU joined the request of Serbia,

Meanwhile, the Neue Zürcher Zeitung newspaper writes that Kurti and Vučić are fighting on the backs of Kosovo Serbs, and that tensions in the north of Kosovo continue even after the clash of militant Serbs with NATO troops. Kurti, who has a legalistic stance, decided that the elected after the April 23 vote should enter their offices, at the service of all citizens, writes NZZ, but "the pressure on Kurti increased, when the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, on Saturday in twitter condemned Kurti's step and demanded his termination. Kurti was not impressed by the American reprimand - this is unusual for Kosovar politicians. Instead he blamed Belgrade-led radicals and hooligans for the protests. They are taking the Kosovar people hostage. But this is half the truth. Of course there are groups, that have the direct support of the ruling party in Belgrade. But it is also true that the majority of the Serbian population in Kosovo has not only never accepted the Kosovar state, but perceives Kurti's uncompromising actions as hostile."

The newspaper "Die Welt" pays attention to the reaction of Russia after the intensification of the conflict in the north of Kosovo, which once again emerges as the defending power of the Serbs. "Russia fiercely attacked the West. "We ask the West to finally stop the misleading propaganda that puts the blame for the incidents in Kosovo on the desperate Serbs who want to defend their legitimate rights and freedom without weapons and in a peaceful way", declared the Foreign Ministry in Moscow... .it is not too late 'to turn back the history of the falsified municipal elections of April 23.' /DW
