Serbian Defense Minister Milos Vučić warns of an armed conflict in Kosovo. "The indicator is in the red zone of tension, primarily among the Serbs," he says.

"We have seen this scenario not only in the case of Ukraine, but also in the former Yugoslavia," he adds. The Serbian army has been told to be ready to deploy to the border with Kosovo before 15:00 (16:00 Moscow time) on Friday. The military has been ordered to prepare for possible hostilities.
