Russia warns U.S. over illegal arming of Kosovo

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that the supply of U.S. weapons to Kosovo could further destabilize the Balkans. Speaking in Israel, Lavrov said the only legitimate delivery of arms to Kosovo were those made to the international contingent working under a UN mandate.

“The only legitimate basis for regulating the situation in Kosovo is Security Council resolution 1244. It does not allow Kosovo to have its own army or for anybody to supply military equipment to Kosovo except for supplies to the international contingent working under a UN mandate. Any other supplies are illegitimate,” Lavrov said.

He added that he wouldn’t like to think that supplies there are aimed at forcing Serbs and other minorities to remain within the illegally proclaimed state. “I don't think this will contribute to stability in the Balkans,” Lavrov concluded.
