Serbian Defense Minister Aleksandar Vulin said on Monday that the European Union should halt the visa liberalization process for citizens of Kosovo, if Pristina fails to revoke the 100 percent tariffs on Serbian goods.

Vulin told RTS that the EU should change its policy towards Kosovo from carrot to stick, adding that Pristina was always rewarded for what he said was bad behavior. He said the EU should halt the implementation of the Stabilization and Association Agreement and prevent the free movement of Kosovo officials.

Asked to comment on adoption of the laws to form Kosovo army Vulin responded that KFOR’s mission was to prevent the organizing of armed formations in Kosovo, adding that attempts to form para-military formations in the north would be stopped within minutes. The Army of Serbia (VS) has regular communication with KFOR and would continue that cooperation, he underlined.
