RUSSIA’S disastrous invasion of Ukraine could spiral into new bloodbath in Europe, a former NATO ambassador warned.

It is feared Vladimir Putin‘s brutal war may become the backdrop for a wave of violence between pro-European Kosovo and Russian-tied Serbia.

Peace talks failed to defuse a bitter row over car licence plates, leaving the region “on the verge of conflict.”

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned that the failure to resolve the long-running issue may spark “violence.”

And Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic warned of “hell on the ground” if Kosovo does not back down in the dispute.

The row came to a head this week after Kosovo declared a deadline for cars in the majority-Serbian north of the country to re-register cars with Kosovan plates.
