Serbia ordered its troops to full alert on Tuesday as tensions soared in the Balkans amid reports that Kosovo police entered Serb-populated regions of the former Serbian province and made several arrests.

Serbia’s state TV said that Kosovo’s special police “burst into” northern Kosovo early in the morning. Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj confirmed the action, saying on Twitter that an “anti-smuggling and organized crime operation” is underway in northern Kosovo.

“This operation is against organized crime and it also targets police and customs officers.” Haradinaj said. He called for calm.
