After the panic in early August (mostly in Russian media), yesterday news appeared that Kosovo and Serbia have resolved their disagreements and the conflict is off.

Why am I bringing this up? I came across an old article that counted how many times in a year (from April 2016 to April 2017) popular daily Serbian newspapers announced or predicted war on their front pages. It came out to about 2-3 times a week. Srpski telegraf had 155 issues, Informer had 110. Not always about Kosovo—sometimes Albania and NATO also featured as sources of threats. And here guys say that after Kosovo's leadership changed in 2020, warlike headlines actually increased even more.

This situation doesn't look healthy or normal, but when the media keeps changing its tune, people will inevitably ignore such headlines, and experts will convince everyone there's no reason to panic. Then again, sometimes things do blow up.
