Serbia opened a new government office in Mitrovica, Kosovo, on Dec. 10, the same day U.N.-mediated negotiations over Kosovo’s status expired without a solution. The Serbian move to reinforce its claim to a city that hangs precariously between peace and conflict just as international diplomacy has stalled came as thousands of protesters began gathering in Pristina to call for Kosovo’s independence.
