—🇷🇸 /🇽🇰 NOTICE: The claim circulating on X that “large forces” of the Serbian Army are currently gathering around Kosovo is unverified.
➡️ As of September 15, there are no matching reports from KFOR/NATO, Kosovo authorities, Serbia’s Defence Ministry or major international news agencies.
➡️ NATO’s latest public assessment instead says the security situation has improved enough for KFOR to gradually adjust its posture, while remaining ready to respond to any deterioration.
➡️ A major Serbian deployment near Kosovo did occur in September 2023, when the US publicly demanded that Belgrade withdraw forces from the border, so old footage or claims from that episode can easily be recirculated without context.
