Summary/Abstract: The attempt by the government in Pristina to amend the documents and vehicle registration plates of northern Kosovo Serbs and their opposition to these intentions led on 31 July to increased tensions. They were eased the next day thanks to quick EU and U.S. action. The incident was smaller in scale than similar tensions last year. Such events may be repeated in the future until these issues are normalised, but the prospect of resolving the dispute remains uncertain.
