Serbia's Russia armatus worries Kosovo

Burim Ramadani, acting deputy defence minister, who also holds the post of National Co-ordinator for NATO Integration and Membership, has commented on this as Serbia's return to Russia Minor, expressing it as concern for the entire region

Serbia returned to Little Russia, and this is a concern for the entire region. Serbia's orientation and arming with Russian equipment (even though corrupt links are enormes) are aimed at endangering the entire Balkans, while presenting Russian and Serbian vengeance on NATO and world democracies”, he has said.

He has said further in a proposal to his social profile Facebook, that “should be clear that permanent peace in the Balkans is achieved when each country members NATO and no state in the Balkans serves as Russia Minor”.

NATO's “Partnership and enlargement with Croatia, Albania, Montenegro and already with northern Macedonia have helped regional peace and security. I believe in NATO enlargement policy, according to Article 10 of the North-Atlantic Pact. Thus, Kosovo could be 31st state NATO.

Kosovo membership in NATO will strongly contribute to regional security”, he has said further.

On the other hand, former Military Enver Dugolli, currently a member of the Vetevendosje Movement, has added the question “Why is Serbia being armed?”. He gave the long answer himself, but in his Facebook profile. He said that “Serbia is arming more and more with weapons and extremely modern combat tools, which are sometimes bought from Russia and also from Russia”.

Despite objections from NATO, Serbia is not stopping. President Vuciq said these weapons and heavy equipment (all attackers) are going to protect Serbia? Who is this country threatened with? What is known and seen is that Serbia is not only not threatened by anyone, but is petried. Serbia was not condemned for all the wars it fought in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and recently in Kosovo that had committed genocide and macabre crimes, especially in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo”, Dugolli wrote.

According to him, its continued arming has only one purpose.

The restoration of lost territories which he considers to be hers to this day by placing them in the Constitution, the case of Kosovo”, Dugolli has said.

Dugolli has said it is not difficult to understand Serbia's goals. It has expressed criticism with what Kosovo is doing, along with Albania.

But are we at the right level of responsibility? Without any doubt I say no! Instead of building real defence policies integrated with Albania and the friendly countries, we improvise triumphal situations by being alone with those three laws adopted in the Kosovo Parliament granting KSF competency to the protection of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic. This failed political class is forgetting that there are no laws and improvisements that protect the country from the dangers and eventual aggression. It's the ability and preparation, the weapons and equipment that guarantee this”, Dugolli said, conveys Time.net. “In this direction, it is now almost 1 year since the change of mission was made and let alone that there is no movement in terms of the purchase of weapons and the equipment needed for protection, but there is a absurd counting site even in the functioning of the new military and civil organisation structure. All this is happening because there is no will for building a literal army, but there are narrow interests to settle down and control important military and civilian positions at KSF and the defence minister. As long as we deal with such banal things and not with what citizens and the state expect, Serbia is greatly facilitating this arms race for protection as Vucinq” is later added to Dugolli

This morning, Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, in the Nis military barracks “Mija Stanimiroviq”, introduced 10 armoured vehicles BRDM 2, income from the Russian Federation, and said these are gifts from Russia, for which he has thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin.
