Mojsilovic, Barduani: Security situation in Kosovo-Metohija remains unstable

BELGRADE - Serbian Armed Forces Chief of General Staff Gen Milan Mojsilovic met with Kfor Commander Maj Gen Enrico Barduani in Belgrade on Tuesday to discuss the current security situation in Kosovo-Metohija, which they agreed remained unstable and sensitive.

The parties also discussed joint activities of the Serbian Armed Forces and Kfor that are aimed at monitoring the situation on the ground and, ultimately, preserving peace and security in Serbia's southern province, the Serbian MoD said in a statement.

Regular contact needs to continue to be maintained at all levels and joint activities need to be continued to reduce tensions on the ground and prevent an escalation of crisis, Mojsilovic and Barduani agreed.

Noting that Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija did not feel safe, Mojsilovic requested from Barduani that the international security forces in the province execute their mandate without bias in line with UNSCR 1244 and the Military-Technical Agreement and ensure a safe environment and freedom of movement to all - above all, the Serb community.
