During the meeting, President Vucic expressed serious concern over events in the north of Kosovo and Metohija and warned that Pristina by unilateral and provocative acts causes tensions and deterioration of the security situation.

He pointed out in particular manipulations over alleged poisoning of the members of the Kosovo Central Election Commission during counting the votes from central Serbia, all of them Albanians exclusively, asking what poison acts on the basis of an ethnic background. He once again called for a comprehensive investigation into this case, Vucic’s press service announced.
