Seshel threatens Croatia: If you build military bases in Kosovo, we attack with rockets

Serb radical leader Vojislav Seshel has declared to Serbian media that the “cracies are wanting to build military bases in the state of Kosovo, so that they can provide instructions for Serbs in Kosovo to do what they did to Serbs in Republika Srpska and in Kraina [Croatia]”.

“Croatians should be warned that what they are doing is not legal. Legal soldiers in Kosovo, when they are international, are only those sent within KFOR, while those who go outside KFOR and make a special Croatian base, for us have the status of a team of bandits”, Seshel has said.

He has also threatened a missile attack on a Croatian military event base in Kosovo.

Let's not be surprised if one day we shoot missiles and destroy everything there, while those we eventually take prisoners and punish them as bandits with long imprisonments. International law does not protect them”, Seshel said.

He said Croatian soldiers risk their heads, so they better not go [to Kosovo].

He has even said as a punishment, because of this Albanians have to hide, stressing that when he says that he does not think of civilian populations and ordinary people.

By contrast, Croatia's president, Zoran Milanovic, has said that the addition of Croatian military forces in Kosovo is not viewed as provocation to Serbia.

Commenting on Serbia's president's statement, Aleksandar Vuciq, that Croatia was down “down Serbia”, increasing the number of soldiers under KFOR, the Croatian president said that if he knew that Serbia was so concerned, he would have talked with the Serbian counterpart on the issue.

Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grliq Radman, during this week's visit to Kosovo at a meeting with Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Grovalla, has expressed his state's readiness to build military bases in Kosovo.

The Croatian minister has said this project aims to boost security in the region.
