Tensions have risen in the Balkans with attacks on police, mass police resignations and delayed elections.
What appeared to be a simple dispute over car license plates has exacerbated already strained relations between Serbia and Kosovo.

Serbian President Aleksander Vucic blamed Kosovo for inciting the situation.
