NATO general secretary Jens Stoltenberg said on Sept. 26 that it "is vital" that Belgrade and Pristina show restraint and resume dialogue.
After telephone talks with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Premier Albin Kurti, Stoltenberg tweeted that the conversations were about "the need to de-escalate in the north of Kosovo." He added that NATO would ensure a secure environment and freedom of movement for all.
According to a press release issued by the Presidency, Vucic said after talking to Stoltenberg that it was now seven days of "the complete occupation of northern Kosovo and Metohija by armored vehicles orchestrated by Pristina, while the entire international community remains 'thunderously quiet.'"
Vucic said that everyone "is suddenly concerned when they see Serbian helicopters and aircraft flying over the territory of Serbia proper, because I suppose they shouldn't exist or fly" until the Kosovo premier or someone in the international community allows this.
