Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has accused Turkey of attempting to “revive the Ottoman Empire” by supplying combat drones to Kosovo. Vucic condemned Ankara's actions, stating that they go against the UN Charter and Security Council Resolution No. 1244, which defines Kosovo's international legal status.
The premature execution of a contract for supplying Turkish drones to Kosovo has sparked tensions in the region. Kosovo's Prime Minister refrained from commenting on the situation, where the issue of military presence and Kosovo's status remains a significant point of contention since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Vucic's criticism underscores the escalating concerns about stability in the Western Balkans amid these developments.
