Jarinje (Albanian: Jarinjë, Serbian Cyrillic: Јариње, pronounced [jǎriːɲɛ]) is a village in northern Kosovo.[lower-alpha 1] It has an administrative boundary with Serbia.
Jarinje is the location of one of the NATO-staffed border checkpoints between Serbia's uncontested territory and Kosovo. In February 2008, the border was sealed by NATO troops after ethnic Serbs ransacked and set fire to the border checkpoints at Jarinje and Brnjak.[1] The area saw further clashes in July 2011.[2] Serbia has appointed guards and customs agents to work at the border. The 2013 Brussels deal made them permanent.[3]

- Notes
- 1 2 Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received formal recognition as an independent state from 113 out of 193 United Nations member states.
