Serbs living in Kosovo and Metohija began to set up barricades to protect administrative buildings. It has been reported “Serbian Radio and Television”.
It was noted that residents of the municipality of Leposavich set up barricades with the help of construction equipment.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic led the army countries are in a state of maximum preparedness due to the situation in self-proclaimed Kosovo. It is stated that the president of Serbia signed an order to maximize the combat readiness of the country’s Armed Forces and instructed them to act urgently in line with the administrative line with Kosovo and Metohija. According to Kurir, Vučić took this step because of the violence of the Kosovo police against the Serb population in Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavić.
The Republic of Kosovo is a partially recognized state, according to the Serbian constitution it is part of the Republic of Serbia and is part of it as the Autonomous Region of Kosovo and Metohija. But in reality Kosovo is not controlled by Serbian authorities.
In 2010, the International Court of Justice in The Hague recognized Kosovo’s declaration of independence as legal – two years ago, the republic’s authorities unilaterally came out of Belgrade’s control. The UN Tribunal considered the issue in line with the General Assembly resolution adopted in response to Serbia’s request.
