A:
Security in Kosovo-Metohija exclusively under KFOR jurisdiction
Belgrade,
26 January 2021
Stefanovic recalled that according to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244, KFOR represents the only legitimate armed formation in Kosovo-Metohija and that it is expected to provide a safe environment for all ethnic groups in the southern Serbian province.
He added that the responsibility for the security situation in Kosovo-Metohija cannot be transferred to other subjects and underlined that the transformation of the so-called Kosovo Security Forces is absolutely unacceptable for the Republic of Serbia, given that that represents a violation of Resolution 1244 and the Military Technical Agreement.
Stefanovic requested that KFOR keep the necessary level of operational capability and added that a possible decision on the reduction of troops should depend on a constant assessment of developments on the political and military level and security indicators, and not on the dates set beforehand.
