Security situation in Kosovo complex, chief commanders say
The Army of Serbia Chief-of-Staff and NATO-led KFOR's commander agreed on Thursday that the security situation in Kosovo was complex, the Beta news agency reported.
General Ljubisa Dikovic said that the Army of Serbia recognised the international forces in Kosovo as an essential factor for stability, the guarantor of the Serb people safety and the protector >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << of their national, cultural and historical heritage.
Dikovic and Major General Salvatore Cuoci meeting is a regular exchange of opinions about the security situation in Kosovo and along the administrative line separating it from Serbia, a statement from Serbia’s Defence Ministry said.
The meetings between Serbia’s top officers and KFOR commanders have been held regularly since 1999, following Belgrade forces' withdrawal from Kosovo after 78-day NATO bombing to stop what it said was Serbia's oppression over ethnic Albanians.
Thursday’s meeting comes amid political tensions between Belgrade and Pristina ahead of the meeting of Serbia’s and Kosovo’s presidents next month in Brussels.
Many believe that the next round of talks between Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci in the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue under the European Union auspices aiming at normalisation of relations will be crucial for the whole process that has been dragging on for years.
However, the pressure raises on both sides since Pristina advocates the boundary with Serbia, while Belgrade maintains that there is no border, but the official line, since Kosovo was the country’s province.
Kosovo’s Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj ordered on Wednesday Pristina's Commission for Border Monitoring to start marking the frontier between Serbia and Kosovo, while Serbia’s Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says there is no border to mark.
