"I will speak about concrete steps that the UN should take in order to secure a situation which will improve, and not aggravate, the situation in Kosovo. We will urge the elimination of everything that violates UN Resolution 1244, using all diplomatic means," Jeremic said, speaking for Belgrade-based TV B92.
Speaking ahead of his meeting with the European Troika in Brussels on Monday, Jeremic said he will inform European officials that Serbia considers the Kosovo Security Force a paramilitary and an illegal formation that should be disbanded.
"In the case of NATO, we will express our dissatisfaction much more directly. Serbian President Boris Tadic sent a letter on this occasion to the secretary-general of NATO and the UN", Jeremic told TV B92.
"Kosovo's defense was not threatened and I don't see any reason for setting up of a paramilitary formation", Serbian Defense Minister Dragan Sutanovac added.
