Antiwar.com: Serbia Seeks Troop Deployment in Kosovo  

Belgrade formally asked NATO if its troops could return to northern Kosovo, a request unlikely to be granted  

Serbia has formally asked NATO if it can deploy up to 1,000 troops into northern Kosovo, where Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic says ethnic Serbs are being “terrorized” by the Kosovo government based in Pristina. 

Vucic made the request to the commander of NATO forces in Kosovo, known as KFOR. Serbian officials say that a UN resolution that formally ended the Kosovo war allows for the deployment of up to 1,000 Serbian troops into Kosovo, but Vucic still doesn’t expect the request to be granted. 

“The request says that a certain number of (Serbian troops), from one hundred to up to 1,000, return to Kosovo,” he said.

Update: This is not going to happen .... Kosovo submits formal request to join the EU, Serbia angry (AP).
