Jeremic stated to the FoNet news agency that the Serbian defence and security system will treat these forces as a direct threat to national security and the peace and stability of the entire region.
The formation of these forces is utterly unacceptable for Serbia. It is a flagrant violation of Resolution 1244. Serbia will employ all diplomatic efforts to have this decision altered, starting with a letter which the Serbian President will send to the UN and NATO secretary generals, said Jeremic.
He stressed Serbia will continue cooperating with Kfor and the international community in the province, as well as to try to do all it can to preserve stability and peace in the region, especially in the province.
Serbia will do that in cooperation with the international community and institutions envisaged by Resolution 1244, which the Kosovo security forces are not, he added.
Jeremic announced that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Serbian government will employ all diplomatic means to oppose the decision to form the Kosovo security forces.
Last night Jeremic arrived to Slovenia for an official visit, and today will meet with Slovenian President Danilo Türk, Prime Minister Borut Pahor, Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Zbogar and chairman of the Slovenian parliament’s Foreign Policy Committee Ivo Vajgl.
