NATO calls on Belgrade and Pristina to de-escalate immediately

The official representative of the alliance, Oana Lungescu, wrote about this on her Twitter page.

“NATO is calling for an immediate de-escalation in northern Kosovo.

We call on Belgrade and Pristina to show restraint, avoid unilateral actions and return to dialogue, ”she wrote.

Lungescu noted that the KFOR forces "retain their mandate to ensure security and freedom of movement" in the region.

Earlier, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, following a meeting of the Republic's Security Council, said that the Serbian side demands an immediate withdrawal from the administrative line between Kosovo and Metohija and Central Serbia of all units of the Kosovo police special forces.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said that Moscow considers the actions of the Kosovo police in the north of Kosovo as a provocation aimed at squeezing the Serbs out of the territory of the region.
