BBC World Service - Weekend, White House warns of escalation between Kosovo and Serbia

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. We will speak to the US ambassador to Kosovo. 

Also in the programme: the United Nations says it's sending a mission to Nagorno-Karabakh this weekend to assess the humanitarian situation there; and we meet one of the first openly queer, transgender K-pop acts. 

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