NATO will increase its grouping of troops in Kosovo, in the event of a new exacerbation between Protina and Belgorod, said Luka Piperi, deputy commander of the alliance peacekeeping mission in KFOR (KFOR), which Reuters quoted.
“We are vigilant and ready to act. In case of growth of tension, we can attract reserve forces in the shortest possible time,” the general said.
On September 13, it became known that Serbia President Alexander Vuchich refused to recognize the independence of Kosovo. According to him, Belgrade will not take such a step “under no circumstances.” Vucich emphasized that Serbia will adhere to international law on the issue of independence of the region.
