Banjska Serbian Orthodox Monastery Complex
On 24 September 2023 at the Banjska Serbian Orthodox Monastery Complex in Kosovo, a heavily armed group assaulted the complex, sparking a tense standoff with the police. This incident resulted in the death of one police officer and three suspected assailants. The Kosovar police managed to regain control of the territory after several battles. Prime Minister Albin Kurti mentioned that the attackers, dressed in security or military-like uniforms, were in a standoff with the police and may have ties to the monastery complex. The Serbian president, Aleksandar Vučić, expressed condolences for the slain police officer but blamed the Kosovar leader, denying Serbian involvement. The EU condemned the attack and urged de-escalation, while the US envoy called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. The situation reflects ongoing ethnic and national tensions in a predominantly Serb region of Kosovo.
