NATO urges Serbia, Kosovo to refrain from actions that would increase tensions

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday urged Serbia and Kosovo to refrain from actions that would increase tensions.

Stoltenberg held separate phone calls with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti about the tension that has arisen over license plates in the north of Kosovo.

''I urged both (sides) to refrain from any unilateral action that can trigger escalation. Dialogue is the only way forward,'' Stoltenberg said on Twitter.

Vucic said he informed Stoltenberg about Pristina violating the Brussels Agreement.
