BBC World Service - Weekend, US urges Serbia to withdraw troops from Kosovo border

NATO has said it's sending extra peacekeeping troops to Kosovo as tensions rise

NATO has said it's sending extra peacekeeping troops to Kosovo as tensions rise.

Washington has called on Serbia to withdraw its forces from close to the border with Kosovo. The US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said a large and unprecedented Serbian military deployment near the frontier was a very destabilising development.

Also in the programme: the jailed leader of Tunisia’s main opposition party has said he’s going on hunger strike until restrictions on him and other prisoners are lifted; we meet the Russian singer-songwriter who now lives in London in exile. 

Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss this and more is Emma Graham-Harrison, senior international affairs correspondent at the UK’s Guardian newspaper, and Elizia Volkmann, freelance journalist, based in Tunisia.
