Serbia has expressed deep disappointment over Kosovo’s request to purchase Javelin anti-tank missiles from the United States.
The U.S. ambassador to Serbia confirmed that the United States had received Kosovo’s request, and that the State Department would send Kosovo’s request to the U.S. Congress, which reviews foreign arms sales respectively.
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vučić said in a statement that “for us, it is of great importance that the peace in the region is not broken and that Serbia will continue to act responsibly and contribute to stability in the Balkans”.
The proposed sale of the missile system to Kosovo comes during tensions in the region and this move has added extra tension to the already existing one between Serbia and Kosovo.
