He threatened the use of lethal force in the case of attack on Jarinje and Brnjak.
"I cannot exclude another attempt. Both gates are declared military restricted areas and the rules of engagement are very clear," Buehler told Reuters in an interview.
According to Buehler, the soldiers can employ lethal force, they can employ their weapons to defend themselves, to defend all the people, to defend the property, the military restricted area.
"Nobody who is not authorized to work in the gates or to cross the gates should be near the gates," Buehler added.
