In a statement to Television PINK, Vucic said that KFOR, in its carefully composed letter addressed to the government of Serbia in response to its request, which he also received through the Military Cabinet, replied that they consider that there is no need for the return of the Serbian Armed Forces and police of the Republic of Serbia to the territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
He said that KFOR, however, stated that in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1244, the Serbian Armed Forces and police do have their role, but KFOR did not specify according to which part of Resolution 1244 it is possible for them not to allow their return to the province, because such a thing does not exist.
They have no right to refuse that request, they knew they had nothing to refer to and then they referred to a positive norm from their point of view that they have the right and obligation to preserve order and peace and made another unintentional mistake, under quotation marks, the President pointed out.
It would be good if they had given us a positive answer on Christmas Eve, then it would make sense, but not a negative one on the eve of Christmas, then you know it is not accidental, Vucic assessed. They made a mistake, with a clear political connotation, and wrote that they are carefully monitoring what is happening in the north, but just two hours before that, Serbian boys were shot at, which everyone tried to hide.
According to him, it is not KFOR's job to take care of the barricades in the north, but of the safety of all Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.
We will see what our response will be, because there are several options. We will wait and point out how and in which places they did not protect Serbian population, from the boy Stefan Tomic in Klokot to other examples, he stated.
Vucic said that he did not expect a different answer from KFOR, and that the question now is whether to go to the UN Security Council session or not.
