Kosovo’s Tough-Guy Tactics Won’t Get it Far (Balkan Insight)

Kosovo’s government is in fighting mood, taxing Serbian goods and vowing to form its own ‘army’ – but it is going for the wrong targets.

“Revenge is a dish best served cold,” says an old English proverb. It clearly hasn’t reached Kosovo. Within hours of Serbia blocking Kosovo’s attempt to join Interpol, Kosovo had slapped a 100-per-cent tax on Serbian goods, up from 10 per cent previously. Touché!

Only it isn’t touché. Kosovo’s sword is blunt and rusty, its gun unloaded.
