Russia has voiced serious concern over information that the Kosovo Albanian authorities intend to take unilateral violent actions against Serbs in the north. A statement issued by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday evening said that such a move would be aimed at assuming control over administrative crossings, and called on KFOR to prevent the provocations in line with its mandate. Moscow calls on KFOR to prevent provocations A similar violent act directed at resolving the "customs issues" in the north of the province in July caused a serious crisis, which put the lives of several hundred people at risk, stressed the statement. "We are of the opinion that the international forces stationed in Kosovo (KFOR) which are responsible for security in the province, should resolutely prevent the provocations," the release adds. Russia counts on a more active role of EULEX in preventing an escalation of tensions and violence towards civilians, the statement reads. All issues relating to the stability and security in Kosovo should be discussed based on fundamental principles of the international law and the UN decisions, particularly UN SC Resolution 1244, as well as within the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the Russian MFA concluded.
