Serbian candidate vows to redeploy Gendarmerie to Kosovo security zone if elected

Miloš Jovanović, leader of the Authentic Right coalition, pledged to return the Gendarmerie to the Ground Safety Zone bordering Kosovo if his list wins the upcoming election. This marks a potential escalation in Serbia's stance toward Kosovo, as the zone is currently demilitarized under the 1999 Kumanovo Agreement. The promise is campaign rhetoric, but if implemented, it could heighten regional tensions and complicate EU-mediated dialogue.
