Drecun: "KFOR is silent - but what's Albanian army doing in Kosovo?" (TV Pink, B92, Tanjug)

"A joint exercise by the Albanian army and the so-called KSF in Kosovo and Metohija is intended to intimidate the Serb people," Milovan Drecun said.

And these are preparations for a possible provoking of violence in the north of Kosovo and Metohija (KiM), the chair of the Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija added.

Drecun assessed that this was an unacceptable demonstration of the "Greater Albania" policy, that Albania had no basis to send members of its army to KiM - unless they were occupiers - and that what Albania is doing is so dangerous that it almost borders on an unofficial declaration of war to Serbia.

"They have occupied, with the entry of their forces, a part of our territory. Neither the UN nor KFOR are reacting," Drecun told TV Pink.

He emphasized that, according to UN Security Council Resolution 1244, the only military presence in Kosovo can be that of KFOR.

"How could KFOR permit the presence of a non-KFOR military force? Why did they not prevent them? Who made the political decision to allow such a thing?," Drecun asked.

He added that the message was being sent to Belgrade that the Albanian army could help Pristina's special units complete the ethnic cleansing of Serbs, and expel all of them from Kosovo.

"A very dangerous message is being sent to Serbia, one that can bring the region into new war sufferings, the message is being sent to us that in case we try to defend the Serb people, if violence were to occur in the North, Albania would send its army to confront us, and that we can expect the Albanian army on Kopanik Mountain, where the administrative line (between Kosovo and central Serbia) runs," Drecun said.

He pointed out that the Albanian regime is actually behind the destabilization of Kosovo and Metohija, as it had been behind that of Macedonia in the past.

Drecun also said he was worried about the danger of some processes connecting, such as the announced protests by a part of the opposition in Serbia, which plans a big gathering on April 13, and the joint preparation of the Albanian army and the so-called Kosovo Security Force (KSF) for a possible storming of the north of Kosovo.
