Full-fledged armed forces in Kosovo will seriously increase the possibility of another violent conflict in the region, Alexander Lukashevich said.
VIENNA, December 21. /TASS/. Pristina’s decision to transform the Kosovo security forces into armed forces is unlawful and must be cancelled, Russia’s envoy to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has said.
“We are convinced that the unlawful decision of the Pristina government, which, by the way, contradicts even the constitution of Kosovo, must be cancelled immediately. We call on Pristina’s Western sponsors to press for it. If plans to create the so-called Kosovo army are put into practice, then, in line with provision 9b of the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, the Kosovo Force must take immediate and sufficient action to demilitarize and dissolve any armed Kosovo-Albanian groups,” Russia’s OSCE envoy Alexander Lukashevich told a session of the organization’s Permanent Council in Vienna.
