Sputnik is live from Belgrade, where locals have gathered for a rally amid escalating tensions between Pristina authorities and Kosovo Serbs.
The crisis in the region deepened following the arrest of a former police officer by Pristina. At the same time, Kosovar authorities applied to join the European Union, while Serbia urged the bloc not to allow the process. Belgrade also submitted a request to the NATO Kosovo Force (KFOR) mission for the return of 100-1,000 Serbian security troops to Kosovo and Metohija under UN Security Council resolution 1244.
