Vučić noted that they want to leave Serbs without food and medicine in northern Kosovo.

The situation in the Serb municipalities of northern Kosovo and Metohija escalated on May 26, after Kosovo Police special forces occupied administrative buildings in the municipalities of Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavić.

On that day, the security forces attempted to secure the inauguration of the heads of the municipalities who won the elections, boycotted by the Serb population.

Meanwhile, on May 29, the Military Bloc Force in Kosovo cordoned off government buildings, prompting protests by local residents, which later escalated into clashes.

According to President Aleksandar Vučić, more than 50 Serbs turned to Kosovska Mitrovica hospital for help.

The NATO mission announced more than 20 wounded soldiers, including members of the Italian and Hungarian contingents of KFOR.
