In the northern Kosovo municipalities of Leposavic, Zveçan, and Zubin Potok, where Serbs make up the majority of the population, there was conflict between security forces and Kosovo Serbs over the appointment of police.

The security forces were tasked with assisting the mayors—who began their duties by triumphing in the local elections held on April 23 in the relevant municipalities—as they entered the official buildings, according to the Kosovo police's statement.

 The Kosovo Serbs were alleged to have continued the unrest that began when they gathered in front of the municipal buildings to protest the police's appointment by erecting barricades on the routes leading to Kosovo's northern regions.

Aleksandar Vucic, the president of Serbia, reportedly gave the army the command to "be ready" and instructed them to proceed to the Kosovo border.
