Mojsilovic, Munsch discuss security situation in Kosovo-Metohija, region

BELGRADE - Serbian Armed Forces (SAF) Chief of General Staff Gen Milan Mojsilovic met with the commander of the NATO Joint Force Command (JSC) in Naples, Adm Stuart Munsch, in Belgrade on Tuesday to discuss the current security situation in the region and worldwide, in Kosovo-Metohija in particular.

Mojsilovic said unilateral moves by the provisional self-government institutions in Pristina posed the biggest security threat in Kosovo-Metohija and were aimed at jeopardising the security of Serbs, and noted that the Republic of Serbia, in line with UNSCR 1244 and the Military Technical Agreement, saw KFOR as the only legitimate armed formation in Kosovo-Metohija.

Mojsilovic and Munsch also discussed the results of cooperation between the SAF and the JFC in Naples and opportunities to advance it further, primarily in the areas of training, education and joint exercises, the MoD said in a statement.

They said the cooperation was professional, constructive and contributing to peace and stability in the region, as well as that the SAF was a credible and dependable partner.

The parties expressed readiness to continue to cooperate in all areas of mutual interest while respecting the military neutrality of the Republic of Serbia, and noted that the mechanisms established ensured this.
