Vucevic: Kurti is imagining the Serbian Army

The Serbian Army is in daily communication with KFOR members and has all organized communication lines and joint patrols, while Albin Kurti is imagining activities of the Serbian Army, said Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vucevic today, reports RTS.

At the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the 63rd Paratrooper Brigade of the Serbian Army, Vucevic stated that Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti is trying to raise tensions.

"First of all, he wants to obscure and sideline what he is doing, which is leading to escalation on the ground, endangering the human rights and freedoms of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija," said Vucevic.

Commenting on Kurti's claims that members of the Serbian Army were spotted by Kosovo security institutions near the administrative line, Vucevic responded that it involved "criminals, smugglers, and thieves."

"Those forces that supposedly encountered members of the Serbian Army are criminals, smugglers, and thieves who cross the administrative line from the territory of Kosovo and Metohija into central Serbia to steal whatever they can find. The Serbian Army is performing its duties, and when our army comes across them, it acts in accordance with the law. There are no additional activities, we are not preparing anything that could lead to escalation on the ground. On the contrary, we are very calm and patient," said Vucevic.

Vucevic added that Serbia "endures more than anyone would" because it wants to preserve peace and political stability.

He also mentioned that time will tell what Kurti is preparing.
