"The US is a long-time ally of Pristina, so this act does not surprise us, but it is logical that we are disappointed and that we openly express our dissatisfaction. However, we cannot change US policy. It is up to us to strengthen our defense capacities and we will certainly do so in the coming period, as we have been doing for years. We will have an adequate response," Minister Vucevic told Kurir.

His statement comes after the US State Department approved potential sale of 246 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Pristina, worth an estimated $75 million, as the Pentagon announced.
