The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Russia calls on Western countries to stop the destructive line in the situation around the partially recognized Republic of Kosovo. The ministry noted that Moscow is recording some stabilization of the situation in the region.

The outbreak of violence unleashed by Pristina under the guise of NATO military violence has been extinguished, but the root causes of the aggravation have not been eliminated, the statement said. On June 5, NATO announced that additional alliance forces (KFOR) had begun to arrive in partially recognized Kosovo.
