"The tension is maximum, the indicator is in the red zone of tension, primarily among the Serbs, who are directly under the threat of terrorist acts by the regime of Albin Kurti," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying

According to him, the so-called Kosovo prime minister is doing everything to expel the Serbs and bring them to an escalation that will justify further aggression and terror against the Serbs, with the ultimate goal of complete ethnic cleansing of Kosovo and Metohija from Serbs.

"Of course, Serbia can be drawn into the conflict and will be represented by the aggressor side. We have seen this scenario not only in the case of Ukraine, who calls whom the aggressor, but also in the former Yugoslavia," he said.

The minister added that the Serbian units were tasked with distributing themselves to positions tomorrow before 15:00 (16:00 Moscow time).

Earlier, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić previously brought the Serbian army to a state of maximum combat readiness due to the situation in Kosovo and Metohija due to Pristina's unilateral steps.

The Minister of Defense confirmed that the country's army urgently moved to the administrative border.
