A Year After Brazen Attack In Kosovo, Questions Remain

On September 24, 2023, dozens of ethnic Serb gunmen attacked a police unit in the village of Banjska in northern Kosovo. A protracted gunbattle left one police officer and three militants dead. This month, Kosovar authorities indicted 45 people over the attack, including a politician who is thought to be at large in Serbia. Though the motives remain unclear, Kosovar authorities say the attackers aimed to set off a conflict that would allow part of northern Kosovo to join Serbia.
