"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.
NATO has plans to neither reduce presence of its forces nor KFOR Mission in Kosovo, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told Serbian Prva TV, adding the reason of NATO presence in Kosovo is to protect all the people and the Serbian community.
KFOR is not aware of Pristina's alleged intention to raid northern Kosovo and takes over the Trepca (mining complex), claims KFOR spokesperson Vincenzo Grasso.
Commenting on media reports that KFOR knows about Pristina's plan, the spokesperson of this military mission calls on everyone to refrain from provoking unnecessary tensions by placing unverified information that causes unwarranted concern among the population.
Chairman of the Serbian National Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun told RTS that in a case of a massive violence taking place in Kosovo, and if KFOR can not or does not want to react, Serbia would not leave its people at Pristina’s merciless.
Speaking for the RTS news edition, Drecun also assessed the statement of EU High Representative Federica Mogherini that the final agreement between Belgrade and Pristina must be in line with international law, but also get support of the UN Security Council “as very significant.”
All international factors have been told clearly that any military intervention undermining the Brussels deal with NATO and KFOR would cause Serbia's reaction. Serbian Foreign Minister and First Deputy PM Ivica Dacic said this on Wednesday.
"Everyone knows well that no one must play with fire and expect Serbia not to react. Serbia will react," Dacic told reporters in response to questions about reports of the Kosovo authorities' plans to mount a raid on a Trepca plant in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, Tanjug is reporting.
There is no unified appeal by the international community to Pristina to revoke the tariffs on goods from Serbia, and that is why they remain in force, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told TV Pink.
He added the US has been interested in the tariffs to be revoked and the dialogue to continue, because they want to score political points.
Kosovo authorities plan to have special police units storm in and take over the Trepca (mining complex) plant in the north of Kosovo and Metohija. That is according to a report in Belgrade-based daily Blic, carried by Tanjug on Wednesday.
The daily said Kosovo Albanians would in that way infiltrate into the majority Serb part (of Kosovo).
A source from diplomatic circles in Pristina told Blic that KFOR has knowledge of these preparations and does not rule out the possibility of Kosovo institutions embarking on such an action.
The Army of Serbia’s Chief-of-Staff General Milan Mojsilovic said on Tuesday that the situation in Kosovo was “extremely complex”, but that Belgrade did not consider any military option right now, the Beta news agency reported.
Speaking to the state RTS television, Mojsilovic described the situation in Kosovo as “full of tensions and unilateral moves.”
KFOR forces in Kosovo continued with the exercise cycle, and the media reported that the Pristina authorities activated the "Steel Ring" action.
KFOR forces are conducting an exercise in order to, as reported, be ready for quick operation throughout Kosovo, and to prevent any threats which may endanger that territory, reports portal B92.
Today's exercise is carried out in the south of Kosovo, where KFOR forces maintain the security of the environment.
Prime Minister Ana Brnabic received in Belgrade on Wednesday Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who was on a one-day visit to Serbia. According to the Serbian Government, she "expressed the wish during the talks that economic cooperation between the two countries, as the most developed part of the overall relations, be further improved."
