The Prime Minister of Kosovo has said the EU is 鈥渂eing soft with Serbia鈥� as the west attempts to disrupt historic ties between Belgrade and Moscow.
Speaking to the 麻豆官网首页入口 in Pristina, Albin Kurti warned that 鈥淜osovo should not pay鈥� as the bloc tries 鈥渕ove (Serbia) out from the influence of the Kremlin鈥�.
Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo 鈥� already difficult - have ratcheted up in recent months.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in February 2008, after years of strained relations between its Serb and mainly Kosovo Albanian inhabitants.
The territory鈥檚 independence has been recognised by the United States and major EU countries, but Serbia, backed by Russia, refuses to do so, as do most ethnic Serbs inside Kosovo.
In May protestors clashed with Nato troops over the installation of ethnic Albanian mayors following controversial elections in majority Serb towns in Kosovo鈥檚 north.
Local officials had resigned their posts after Mr Kurti鈥檚 government refused to create a long-promised Association of Serbian Municipalities.
In elections to replace the officials, boycotts by Kosovan Serbs saw a turnout of just three percent, prompting accusations that the new mayors lacked a democratic mandate.
The EU, UK and US have all urged the creation of the Association of Serbian Municipalities 鈥� but Kosovo鈥檚 government fears it will lead to a divided 鈥榮tate within a state鈥� and the EU has even imposed economic sanctions on the territory.
Mr Kurti says the strong relationship between Kosovo and its allies is under threat because they are working to persuade Serbia to sever ties with Russia.
鈥淚f an autocrat is friends with Putin, for changing that a democratic country like Kosovo should not pay. The autocrat should pay鈥�
Serbian President Aleksandar Vu膷i膰, who has traditionally backed Moscow, condemned Russia鈥檚 invasion on Ukraine but refused to impose sanctions, and has come under increasing pressure to change track.
