The most important political and security challenge for Serbia is the situation in Kosovo and Metohija, Ljubisa Dikovic has said.

The Serbian Army (VS) chief told the Belgrade-based Danas newspaper that Serbia is, at the moment, not under military threat.

"The greatest security threats are ethnic and religious extremism, international networks of organized crime and illegal migration of people motivated by economic, political and security problems. Another risk is the participation of citizens of Balkan states in armed conflicts in the Middle East," Dikovic said.

BELGRADE -- President Tomislav Nikolic believes that "attacks on the (army) chief of staff" are an attempt to "humiliate everything good done in Serbia" recently.

Nikolic received General Ljubisa Dikovic on Friday morning in the Presidency, a day after it the Humanitarian Law Center (FHP) NGO accused the Serbian Army (VS) chief of being responsible for war crimes.
