Serbian minister of Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic has assessed at the extraordinary assembly session that KFOR has fully stepped out of the framework of UN Resolution 1244, and taken the position of Pristina.

He has pointed that with such actions, instead of dissolving tension, KFOR has allowed impression to be made that the military mission is violating Resolution 1244, while the Serbs in northern Kosovo were in fear that Pristina would realize its goals via KFOR. That lead to setting fire on the administrative crossing in Jarinje, said Bogdanovic.
