Ethnic Serbs Denounce Raids On Parallel Institutions In Kosovo (Video)

Ethnic Serbs living in Kosovo have denounced raids by authorities on municipal offices in 10 Serbia-backed areas. The January 15 raids are part of an effort by the government in Pristina to close so-called parallel institutions that give neighboring Serbia leverage in its former province. Ethnic Serbs in northern Kosovo have been guided for decades by Belgrade and its parallel structures in the region, including Serbian banks, a pension system, and unemployment benefits.
