Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin wrote a letter to his counterparts in 53 states asking them to prevent Kosovo from forming its army, TV N1 reports.
A statement from his office said Vulin sent those letters “so that no one could claim one day they did not know what was happening in Kosovo.”
“What is worrying is the news on Kosovo army being formed, which is an attempt to create yet another paramilitary unit in Kosovo,” the statement quoted Vulin as saying.
He added “the unpunished war criminals want to have their army to repeat all the crimes they have not been prosecuted for. It is unacceptable to Serbia and should be the same to the international community.”
“The whole world should know what was going on in Kosovo and Metohija and how dangerous it is to create a paramilitary formation there as well as to what extent it could disturb peace in Kosovo and Metohija and in the region,” Vulin underlined.
In the meantime, both the US and UK said they supported the creation of Kosovo army in coordination with NATO and its KFOR force in Kosovo.
However, NATO said it was not the right time for the move, and some European Union member states also warned about the potential danger of Pristina decision. The analysts in Kosovo said it would take up to ten years for the process to end.
