China urges NATO to respect Serbia’s sovereignty

China urged the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to respect Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and truly contribute to regional peace, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday during a regular press briefing.

…

Regarding the escalating tensions in the region, Mao said that China is closely following the developments, adding that China supports Serbia’s effort to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The spokesperson vowed opposition to unilateral actions by the temporary institutions in Pristina and called on it to perform its duty of establishing an association/community of Serb majority municipalities.

Serbian military issues warning over Kosovo violence

Belgrade would not stand by if the ethnic Albanian authorities in Kosovo start killing or displacing Serbs in the breakaway region, Defense Minister Milos Vucevic has warned. The statement came amid heated protest by Serbs in Kosovo over mayoral elections in several towns, which they have described as a travesty.

Speaking to the public broadcaster Radio Television of Serbia on Wednesday, Vucevic assessed the risk of a violent escalation in the north of Kosovo as “big, probably the biggest possible.”

Kosovo’s prime minister, Albin Kurti, and his “unilateral, illegal, illegitimate decisions” are what led to the current tensions in the region, according to Vucevic. He also accused Pristina of denying ethnic Serbs their basic human rights and freedoms.

The minister pointed out that the Serbian military is “ready to carry out any task,” adding that Belgrade has defined any infringement against its “vital national and state interests” as a red line.

“We are talking about scenarios where, God forbid, someone kills Serbs, that physical liquidation begins of our people by the Kosovo police, the expulsion of Serbs,” the Serbian official clarified.

Vucevic emphasized that any such actions “would really be not only a red alarm, but also the moment when Serbia can’t just talk and sit idly by.”

I think it can be a diplomatic boost for China if they solve this conflict in Europe, although I doubt they’ll get too involved.

We should have a thread where we post any troll accounts we encounter on the Fediverse so we can block them. Kind of a masterpost.

I used it personally, though with friends, not in large groups. It’s rather good, but it depends on the instance you use. If you decide to selfhost, the better. There’s also Element Calls now, you might want to check that out too.

Democracy is when the US does a coup and the country is ruled by Azov and Pravny Sektor, lol

Someone on Lemmygrad had an archive of them, we’ll see if he shows up.

There was a huge thread about it here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/open-sourcing-of-obsidian/1515/266
