Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced during a press conference on Friday that he wants to send Serbian military and police to Kosovo, writes Reuters.

The comments come after unrest between authorities in Kosovo and the Serb minority in the northern parts of the country.

When the resolution was passed, Kosovo was seen internationally as part of Serbia, but has since become independent. An independence not recognized by Serbia.
