Kosovo's Prime Minister addressed the country's Serb minority in Serbian, announcing that € accounts can be opened free of charge and detailing the financial benefits received by the Serb community, including pensions for 33,000 Serbs, child benefits for 4,244 families, and social assistance for 2,205. The Prime Minister assured that financial support from Serbia would not be disrupted amidst new regulations enforcing the euro as Kosovo's sole currency, despite criticism from the US and EU. The euro-only policy, which prohibits the use of the Serbian dinar, sparked protests in North Mitrovica, supported by the union of Serbian workers and the Serb List party. Thousands of minority Serbs rallied against the ban, marking the latest crisis in relations between Serbia and Kosovo.
