Trouble Brewing in Kosovo?

 Well....if you follow what German news is saying....along the northern edge of the country (against the Serbian border)....there ethnic local Kosovo-leaning-toward-Serbia, and lately, they've been making trouble.

Several roads in the north have been blocked, with police shot at on occasion.

NATO ready to react?  This weekend....they more-or-less said the magic words and are forming some strategy to handle the situation.

All of this over a 70 by 70 mile area of Kosovo?  Yeah.  If you asked me for a description of the region (having been through it as a tourist)....I'd say it's a fairly hilly region.....crappy 3rd-world paved roads....little if any jobs beyond agriculture or tourism.  The pro-Serb crowd....carrying on with Russian influence likely in some form.
