"The government session is on Thursday and as things stand, the government will make a decision to send a letter to the KFOR commander," Vucic said in response to journalists' questions.

He made the statement after speaking with Srdjan Petrovic, the owner of a winery from Velika Hoca, whose almost entire batch of wine was seized by the police and customs authorities from Pristina late last week.

Vucic said that the Government will meet on Thursday afternoon and that KFOR will afterwards receive the request (based on UN Resolution 1244).

Vucic stressed that he is proud of the members of our armed forces, among whom he saw unity and determination, as well as the desire to complete every task that the state leadership sets before them, adding that the Army's ranks are filled like never before.

"I want to tell all citizens that I am proud of our armed forces and members (of security forces) regarding what happened yesterday, and the fact we received it from them precisely (during the Council for National Security meeting) without any evasion or lying, in the most difficult and serious situation - says that a lot has changed in Serbia," Vucic stated according to RTS.

He assessed that fuel, food and ammunition supplies are "better than ever before," but also that the Army's ranks are filled "like never before."
