Serbia's Vucic downplays Kosovo war crimes verdict, prioritizes stability

Serbian President Vucic cautioned against euphoria over the first-instance guilty verdicts for former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders, signaling a measured response to avoid regional escalation. The verdict, delivered by an international court, is a significant legal milestone but Vucic's restraint suggests Belgrade will not use it to inflame tensions. The development matters as it tests Serbia-Kosovo relations and regional stability in the Western Balkans.
