Serbia says Kosovo fails to provide security for Serbs, Belgrade ready to send forces

Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vucevic on Monday told the Pink television channel that Kosovo and Metohija are not providing adequate security to Serbs, so Belgrade is ready to send additional forces there under UNSC resolution 1244.

"It’s obvious that there are not enough security forces in Kosovo and Metohija to protect the security of the Serbs. The legal basis has existed since 1999. Serbia has the right to demand the use of this clause and to demand the return of its forces. Whether they will allow us to do this or not, we will see," the minister said.

He added that the government will discuss the issue this week.
