Kosovo Serbs, who have been protesting the detention of Serbian police officer Dejan Pantic who was charged with war crimes in November, by building barricades in the north of Kosovo, for 18 days and demanding the release of the Serbs and the withdrawal of the Kosovon special units from the north, did not obey the call of NATO and the European Union’s (EU) for removing the barricades, and built another one in northern Mitrovica.

Serbian media reported that the barricade built last night is the first barricade in the city center and that pedestrians were allowed to pass through the area while vehicles use secondary roads.

On the other hand, Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic stated that Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic ordered his army to make preparations against the possibility of a war breakout last night.

EU Warns US Tariffs Could Trigger De Facto Trade Ban

0

EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.

Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”

The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.

Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
