Thaci, who serves as Kosovo's foreign minister, issued the statement after a meeting in New York with a U.S. State Department official.
"NATO is a serious organization and I do not believe that these allegations are truthful," Djuric told reporters in Brussels and added that UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Kumanovo Agreement clearly define the armed forces which can be deployed in Kosovo.
"NATO forces, and KFOR as their component, are listed as forces to be deployed and the Kumanovo Agreement defines the other forces that can be deployed in the area, including the Serbian army, with an explicit approval by KFOR which has not been granted for the past 16 years," he added.
According to Tanjug, Djuric "underscored that a number of armies and a lot of weapons were once present in Kosovo and that a lot of money was spent and wasted for the purpose."
Also in Brussels on Tuesday, Djuric said that he asked during the technical talks on normalization of the Belgrade-Pristina relations in Brussels for the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) to be included in the high-level political dialogue.
"We believe that the time has come for us to protect the position of the Church in Brussels as attempts at reducing its rights, importance and role have been made for years now," Djuric told reporters and added that Serbia "will never agree to this."
He voiced criticism of Kosovo's efforts aimed at joining UNESCO and said that those who destroyed churches and set them on fire and who now have the ambition to show Serbia's cultural heritage as their own cannot ask for protection wearing a disguise of submission.
Djuric said that the Serbian diplomacy is conducting a campaign against Kosovo's UNESCO membership.
He noted that the Tuesday talks also covered the constitution of the Community of Serb municipalities and added that he received assurances that Pristina would carry out the necessary legal steps in order to have the Statute of the Community of Serb Municipalities adopted on November 25 as previously agreed.
What I think is that if EU falls down NATO won’t survive the way it is now. So all their solutions are temporary like everything else in this life.

UN Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Military-Technical Agreement from Kumanovo clearly define the armed forces which can be deployed in Kosovo and Metohija, the director of the Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija said on Tuesday.
Djuric, with The Republic Of Kosova's declaration of independence on 2/17/2008 & with the recognition of 110 United Nation members resolution 1244 was officially overwritten, killed and put to rest! 1244 only exists in the minds of a few fanatical & radical Serbs, Russian, and Chinese!
Also djuric, why in the world wouldn't NATO allow a Kosovan army, as Kosovo is a independent country! A Kosovan army makes complete sense, as it deprives Serbia the ability to wage wars of agression towards any of its neighbors now and in the future, it deprives Russia influence and the possibility of having a satellite state in Southern Europe, and it effectively gives to NATO the entire Albanian nation within the region currently consisting of 7 million, and forecasts & projections of a continued strong growth of this population, it also imbeds NATO in a key position, in between Europe, Africa, Russia and the Mideast, which effectively puts NATO within reach of all the worlds hot spots! In my opinion, NATO can't go wrong with the establishment of a powerful Albanian armed force, in my opinion again a very significant & important step for NATO strategists and policy makers!!!
Welcome to the future radical Serbia!

Surprising is how some of the members (Spain, Romani ect.) could agree it if their governments do not admit the division of Serbia. Meanwhile we know as if in NATO all decisions are taken under consensus. At least we are told so. What I think is that if EU falls down NATO won’t survive the way it is now. So all their solutions are temporary like everything else in this life.
