KFOR Spokesperson Vincenzo Grasso said delivery of 24 armored vehicles “Humvee” for the needs of Kosovo Security Forces “does not represent a threat” adding there are no indicators that any military action could occur in the territory of Kosovo.

RTK2 published the news two days ago, saying that highly mobile and multipurpose armored military vehicles arrived from USA in Kosovo.

Grasso said the armored vehicles are intended to transport personnel and claims “there are no reasons for fear and concern.”

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.

Highly mobile and multi-purpose military vehicles (HMMWV) arrived from USA in Kosovo, and it is expected that these vehicles would be at the disposal of Kosovo armed forces, RTK2 reports.

RTK2 recalled that the Kosovo Government in July this year signed the agreement on purchase of 51 vehicles.

Handover ceremony was held in the premises of Kosovo Security Forces, with participation of local and USA Embassy officials.

Last week, Belgrade-based media reported that based on Washington’s instruction a contingent of modern armament was shipped to Kosovo.

Belgrade-based daily Blic writes today that the USA is in a hurry to resolve the Kosovo issue, since any prolongation could place the problem in the hands of Russia, that would have much greater influence over the European Commission after its forthcoming elections.

That is why Trump’s administration is exercising pressure upon Albanians to continue dialogue with Belgrade as soon as possible. US State Secretary Mike Pompeo told Kosovo President Hashim Thaci recently to seize the chance for reaching a historic, comprehensive agreement on normalization of relations with Serbia.

Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister, Ivica Dacic said taxes imposed on Serbian goods must be abolished, and Belgrade is not interested in how this will be achieved, Tanjug news agency reported.

He added, that “those who gave a birth to a political monster in Pristina, must control it.”

“Those who gave the birth to that political monster in Pristina, must resolve the problem and control their “child”. There should be no twisted games, either you will control it or not,” Dacic told journalists following the meeting with his Lebanese counterpart Jobran Bassil.

US State Secretary Mike Pompeo has called on Kosovo authorities to abolish the tax on goods form Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (increased by 100 percent). Pompeo did this during his meeting in Washington on Monday with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, B92 reports.

The US official "encouraged Kosovo to seize this unique window of opportunity to reach a historic comprehensive normalization deal with Serbia under the EU-facilitated Dialogue process," a press release from the US State Department said.

Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Veljko Odalovic says that Serbia will not leave its people in Kosovo and Metohija. Odalovic also added that Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj "can only be made to see reason by the EU and the US."

Odalovic told RTS that it is "most important that Brussels should be the one to explain to Pristina that things they are doing can cause serious problems."

USA Embassy in Belgrade said it is concerned over Pristina’s measure to increase taxes on goods from central Serbia by 100 percent, Tanjug news agency reported.

The Embassy added such an act endangers perspective for regional stability and prosperity.

“We are concerned by Pristina’s announcements. Accordingly, the tariffs violate CEFTA obligations and endanger perspectives for long-term regional stability and prosperity,” the Embassy told Tanjug news agency.

A stormy night has passed in Belgrade after Pristina decided to impose 100 percent taxes goods coming from central Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, B92 reports today.

The Council for National Security met, while before that, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic separately spoke with the ambassadors of Russia and China posted in Belgrade, and then with those from the EU and the US, and their "Quint" allies. Vucic specified that Serbia will not impose any counter-measures because, as a reliable partner, it does not wish to violate either EU's SAA or the regional free trade CEFTA deal.

US Ambassador in Serbia, Kyle Scott said that the decision of Interpol not to accept Kosovo as its member is disappointing for the US, B92 reports.

He added, such an outcome of voting at Interpol General Assembly is a diplomatic victory of Serbia, and congratulated to the Serbian state leadership for that.
