Belgrade is seeking support from Russia and China in its opposition to the
announced formation of the army in Kosovo, warning it could lead to the
conflict in the Balkans. Kosovo's parliament will vote on December 14 on
transforming the security forces into a regular army. Serbia has protested
the move and threatened retaliatory measures against its former province
which declared independence in 2008. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met
separately with the Russian, Chinese and US ambassadors in Belgrade on
Tuesday, saying that "continuous provocations" from Kosovo could leave
Serbia with no choice but to "protect" the Serb minority, AP reported.
During a meeting with Russian Ambassador Aleksandr Chepurin, Vucic asked him
to inform Moscow "that someone seems to be intentionally pushing Serbia and
the region toward a conflict." They also discussed the Russian president's
upcoming visit to Serbia.
