So the ethnic Serbs in Kosovo are upset because the Kosovo govt wants them to have Kosovo license plates instead of Serbia ones. And now NATO is on alert over possible hostilities in the Balkans as a result. With Russia backing Serbia, and the situation in Ukraine, this could be another European proxy war that would have NATO engaged this time should it come to that. Kosovo is now postponing implementation of that rule as a result but the Balkans are always a powder keg and we'll see what happens here.
Seriously people? F-ing license plates!?

But that would make too much sense...

Even after living 40 years in Australia they still talk about politics from “my country”. After attending a few too many what they affectionately call Wog Balls here it’s extremely easy to understand how they behave towards one another. Not saying it’s right, after centuries of bad blood there is no easy fix it seems.
