"The provisional Pristina institutions PM saying that the so-called 'Kosovo Army' could enter the north of Kosovo is a threat to the entire region's peace," stated Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin.
He told the public broadcaster, RTS, that the Serbian Army was "confident, strong and capable of preserving peace and stability throughout the country."
Serbia’s Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic warned the Kosovo Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj, not to even think of using force against Serbs in Kosovo, because Serbia will know how to respond.
Commenting on Haradinaj’s statement that "Kosovo’s army would be deployed to the north if the border is threatened," Stefanovic said that this clearly shows how nervous Haradinaj is.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic pointed out on Sunday that the Albanians will try to bring the whole international community to a "fait accompli."
Vucic made this statement after Ramush Haradinaj said that "the border between Kosovo and Albania" was disappearing.
The Serbian government Office for Kosovo chief Marko Djuric said that Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj and Albania representatives statement after the signing of the agreement on the abolition of border crossings show the true “Greater Albania nature of the Pristina regime.”
"Political rampage, like this, only creates fertile ground for new conflicts and distances the region from the solution," Djuric said and appealed to the international community to stop "Pristina's chauvinistic euphoria" that contributes to the acceleration of tensions.
Aleksandar Vucic says it's not clear to him how Hashim Thaci came up with stating that an agreement between Belgrade and Pristina would be signed in Washington.
Vucic told RTS late on Thursday that he "knows neither who came up with it, nor when Thaci was told this," and also wondered, "what are we supposed to sign."
As he pointed out, a Kosovo solution is not in sight, and added that he had "stressed this before."
The Kosovo Albanian political elite is in a panic after Prime Minister Ana Brnabic informed the world about their unlawful and anti-civilization measures, Serbian government official Marko Djuric said in a written statement to the media.

“There are no talks from new starting positions,” Dacic told RTS, the public broadcaster.
