Kosovar Serb Says Belgrade Reaction To Kosovo Security Force Not Helpful

BELGRADE -- A Serbian politician in Kosovo says Belgrade's furious reaction to the establishment of a Kosovo Security Force is misplaced.

Rada Trajkovic, the president of the Kosovo-based Serbian Council, told RFE/RL's South Slavic and Albanian Languages Service that the "protests and complaints from Belgrade over the Kosovo Security Force" are being made too late to change any of the facts on the ground.

Trajkovic said protests will only contribute to "a wider gap between Serbs and Albanians."

Trajkovic added that Belgrade's negative reaction "is feeding the Kosovo Serbs' frustrations and could further separate Serbs from the international community."
