This was stated by the Serbian Minister of Defense Milos Vucevic.

“The President of Serbia, as Supreme Commander, gave the order to bring the Serbian army to the highest degree of combat readiness,” Vucevic said, quoted by TV Pink.

Earlier, the N1 TV channel reported that the Serbian army was pulling howitzers to the border with the self-proclaimed Kosovo.

On December 20, Vučić asked Stuart Mansch, Commander of NATO Allied Forces Command in Naples, that NATO protect the Serb population in Kosovo and Metohija.
