Kosovo's Foreign Minister Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz met with her Czech counterpart Jan Lipavský in Prague on Tuesday to discuss the increasingly tense situation in the Western Balkans. Speaking at a press conference after the meeting, she said that Kosovo is ready to hold new local elections in the north of the country, but if the Serbian minority boycotts them, this will not be a solution. She said that what is needed is for Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to commit to stopping violence against Serbian voters in Kosovo if they participate in the vote.
The Czech foreign minister condemned the violence in the north of Kosovo and called for both Pristina and Belgrade to take immediate steps to de-escalate the situation and help ease tensions so that new local elections can be held.

Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský has roundly condemned the attack on the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine's Kherson region, saying on Twitter that it is comparable to the use of weapons of mass destruction on civilians. He also called it an act of brutality that will be punished, and said that Russia was continuing to push the limits of its aggression by attacking infrastructure near populated areas.
Following this, he approved an aid bundle of CZK 10 million for the affected region, which, according to the foreign ministry's spokesperson Daniel Drake, is the highest amount that the department can send without approval from the government.
Ukraine's military and NATO have accused Russia of blowing up the dam, while Russian officials blame Ukrainian troops.
