BBC World Service - Weekend, PM Albin Kurti on tensions in Kosovo

Kosovo leader tells the BBC he will not back down on standoff with Serbs

Kosovo leader tells the BBC he will not back down on standoff with Serbs.

Kosovo's prime minister, Albin Kurti resists calls by the United States to de-escalate a dispute over mayors in Serb-majority parts of northern Kosovo. We also hear from Gabriel Escobar, US envoy for the Balkans and Marko Jaksic, a Kosovo-Serb political activist.

Also on the programme: British journalist and author, Daniel Finkelstein on his book, 'Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad.' 

And the power and politics of the sari- India's most famous garment.

Julian Worricker is joined by guests Timothy Garton Ash, British historian, author and commentator at Oxford University, and Noga Tarnopoloski, a freelance reporter on Israel and the Palestinian territories, who joins us live from Jerusalem.
