“For me, this is the most difficult day since I was president or prime minister, and the most difficult night is ahead,” Vecherne Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, Vučić convened the National Security Council because of the threats from the authorities of the self-proclaimed Kosovo to use force against the Serbs in the north of the region and destroy the barricades that they erected for their own protection.

After him, he issued a statement, noting that Washington and Pristina do not comply with any agreement reached on Kosovo and that Pristina is trying to end the "Serb problem" in Kosovo and Metohija.
