Kosovo closes 6 Serbian bank branches over currency crackdown
Fox News
Kosovar police on Monday closed six branches of the Serbia-licensed Postal Savings Bank in line with a crackdown on the use of the Serbian dinar currency.
Starting on Feb. 1, the government required areas dominated by the ethnic Serb minority in Kosovo to adopt the euro currency, which is used in the rest of the country, and abolished the use of the Serbian dinar.
Priština postponed the move for about three months, following pressure from the European Union and the United States, concerned that the decision would negatively impact the ethnic Serb minority in northern Kosovo.
