Serbian defense minister: One spark is enough to ignite everything in Kosovo

The situation in Kosovo is so flammable and tense that one spark is enough to light it, and everything can go in an undesirable direction, Serbia’s defense minister said Wednesday.

Milos Vucevic was speaking to a local television channel, evaluating relations between his country and Kosovo.

''The atmosphere in (the province of) Kosovo and Metohija is so tense that the smallest incident could lead to things going in an undesirable direction, and this is not surprising because Pristina and (Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin) Kurti are constantly making moves aimed at destabilizing and expelling Serbs from Kosovo,” said Vucevic.

He added that Serbia is with the Serbs in Kosovo.

"It is not easy to explain to the Serbs in the north of Kosovo that while being humiliated and disenfranchised, they should remain calm and not fall for provocations. Kurti's biggest goal is to scare away the Serbs there,” said Vucevic.
