Serbian troops issued warning order
BELGRADE, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic called for a meeting of the National Security Council on Saturday to discuss the political-security situation in the southern province of Kosovo and Metohija, after the temporary authorities there missed the deadline proposed by European Union (EU) to adopt the statute of the Serb Community.Serbia's southern province unilaterally seceded in 2008 with the support of the United States and most EU countries. And in 2013, by signing the Brussels Agreement, the two sides agreed to work on normalizing relations under the patronage of the EU, and eventually achieve a legally binding agreement. However, in a media address Saturday, Vucic accused the temporary authorities in Pristina of failing to fulfill their sole obligation - to form the Community of Serb Municipalities 1,930 days after the deal was signed. He said that the Council also discussed the work of certain "agents, both in Pristina and Belgrade" assigned together with media, political circles and foreign intelligence services, to overshadow Pristina's missed deadline by misinforming and provoking the public. The pro Russian news website Russkaya Vesna said Serbian troops have been placed on alert. Posted by: badanov 2018-08-05 |
