evidence: (Bloomberg) -- Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti said international criticism of his government’s treatment of Serbian minority was overblown, a comment that’s likely to dismay Western backers who have appealed for restraint. The moves by Pristina to close Serbia-backed institutions and ban the use of the Serbian dinar have prompted warnings from the US and the European Union that the actions may pose a threat to the fragile peace in the Balkans. [...] Northern Kosovo is home to the biggest remaining Serb community following a 1998-99 war over the territory and Kosovo’s declaration of independence in 2008.
