The Serbian government also noted that in response to the decision of Pristina, Belgrade could, among other things, declare the region “occupied territory” and justify the possible “use of the country's armed forces”.

It became known earlier that the deputies of the parliament of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo approved the creation of a full-fledged army in the country.

NATO regretted the situation.
