A senior Serbian Defense Ministry official said on Tuesday that Turkey is 
arming and training the Kosovo Security Forces in violation of UN Security 
Council Resolution 1244. 

Ministry State Secretary Nemanja Starovic told the Serbian state TV (RTS) that 
some states, primarily Turkey “are intensively arming, training and generally 
enabling the so-called Kosovo Security Forces which runs counter to UN Security 
Council Resolution 1244 and other relevant international agreements”.

He said that the situation was monitored by Serbian agencies and that the 
authorities were informed. According to him, “Serbia used all available 
channels to warn Turkey that this is absolutely unacceptable”. He added that 
Ankara was “donating” offensive weapons and improving the capabilities of 
Kosovo forces and recalled that Prime Minister Albin Kurti presented Turkish 
drones. “Unfortunately, this is not just about drones but also sophisticated 
anti-armor system, mortars and other weapons,” Starovic said.

He warned that the donated weapons “raise the threat to the Serb population of 
Kosovo and to Serbia”. “This is especially worrying because Turkey is due to 
take command of KFOR in the autumn for the first time,” he said.
