Serbian Court Orders Release of Kosovo Policemen, Defusing Tensions

Three Kosovo policemen were released by a Serbian court after being detained for unauthorized weapon possession.
Their arrest and detention increased tensions between Serbia and Kosovo, leading to violent clashes.
Western leaders urged Serbia to release the officers to ease instability in the Balkans.
Serbia does not recognize Kosovo's independence, leading to decades of conflict between the neighbors.
The officers' release is seen as a way to reduce tensions, though long-term issues remain unresolved.
