US Decries Kosovo Police Raid on Serbian Bank.

The US and European Union have criticized a raid conducted by Kosovo police on a Serbian bank, stating that the operation was not coordinated with Western allies and has further escalated tensions in the region. The raid comes after Kosovo's government restricted the use of the Serbian dinar earlier this year, leading to a standoff with Serbia. US and EU negotiators have also expressed concerns about Kosovo's prime minister's heavy-handed approach and its impact on pensioners and welfare recipients. Talks to resolve the deadlock broke down last week, and the raid has been seen as undermining efforts to resolve outstanding issues through dialogue. [Extracted from the article]
