AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoKosovo Security Build-Up: The US says it’s monitoring Kosovo’s plan to create a gendarmerie force, urging any steps to respect peace and security commitments, while NATO’s KFOR remains the border-security guarantor and both sides are told to keep coordinating. Serb Backlash and Election Pressure: Serbia has slammed the move as illegitimate, and Kosovo’s campaign is already turning sharper ahead of the June vote, with early accusations and a reported assault—plus the caretaker government announcing one-off €100 payments for pensioners, children, students and low-paid workers just 16 days before polling. EU Money at Risk: Kosovo faces losing over €90m from the EU Growth Plan if 13 reform steps aren’t completed by end-June, with another €165.9m potentially at stake later. Regional Context: NATO also reiterated it will keep deeper ties with Serbia on hold until accountability for northern Kosovo attacks in 2023. Elsewhere: Uzbekistan won gold at an international sniper competition in Türkiye, with Kosovo among the participating teams.
