BELGRADE, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and other top officials on Wednesday condemned Turkey's delivery of thousands of suicide drones to Kosovo, calling it a gross violation of international law.
A. Vučić said he was “shocked” by Turkey’s behavior, accusing Ankara of destabilizing the Western Balkans and “dreaming about the revival of the Ottoman Empire.”
"It's now absolutely clear that Türkiye doesn't want stability in the Western Balkans and is once again dreaming of a revival of the Ottoman Empire. Serbia is a small country, but we understand their true intentions," A. Vučić wrote on social media.
Earlier in the day, the head of the Serbian government's chancellery for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, said Türkiye had "directly violated" Resolution 1244 by arming Pristina with more than 1,000 Skydagger combat FPV drones.
In a press release issued by the “Kosovo government,” Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti announced the arrival at Pristina’s Adem Jashari Airport of several containers containing “thousands of Skydagger kamikaze drones” supplied by the Turkish defense company Baykar.
Kosovo, a Serbian administrative unit, unilaterally declared independence in 2008, a move Belgrade considers illegal. Under UN Security Council Resolution 1244, adopted in 1999, the territory remains under temporary UN civilian administration and NATO military control, with the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) recognized as the sole authorized armed force.
