Kosovo–Serbia January 2017 train incident
In January 2017, a train painted in Serbian flag colors and with the words "Kosovo is Serbia" was prevented from crossing into Kosovo.[1] President Tomislav Nikolic of Serbia stated that Serbia would send its army to Kosovo if Serbians in Kosovo are attacked. Kosovo viewed the train as a provocation. Both Serbia and Kosovo mobilized their military forces along the Kosovo-Serbian border.[2]
Background[edit]
"Kosovo is Serbia" is Serbian government policy. More than 80 UN member states, including Brazil, India, Nigeria, and Spain, refuse to recognize the unilateral declaration of independence made by Kosovo in 2008.[3]
