塞尔维亚总统说,如果有必要,将派遣军队到科索沃保护那里的塞尔维亚公民。

在此之前, 一列塞尔维亚开往科索沃的列车车身上写着“科索沃是塞尔维亚的”,星期六这列火车在边境被阻拦不得进入科索沃,随后双方开始相互言辞抨击。

美国驻科索沃大使德拉维发推文说,他对于火车事件感到担忧。德拉维呼吁各方保持克制,他还说塞尔维亚和科索沃需要的是“正常化而不是冲突”。

塞尔维亚总统尼科利奇说,两国处于冲突的边缘。科索沃总理告诉媒体,这辆火车“传递的是占领的信息”

星期六这趟火车是1998年以来从塞尔维亚首都开往科索沃北部城市米特罗维察的首班火车。据报道,这列火车后来开回了贝尔格莱德。

Serbia's president says the country is ready to send troops to Kosovo to protect Serbian nationals, if necessary.

The comment Sunday followed a war of words that erupted between Kosovo and Serbia officials when a train painted with the words "Kosovo is Serbia" was stopped Saturday from entering Kosovo.

The United States ambassador in Pristina Greg Delawie said on Twitter that he was concerned about the train issue. Delawie called “for restraint from all parties,” adding “Need normalization not confrontation” between Serbia and Kosovo

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said the two countries were on the verge of a conflict, while Kosovo’s prime minister told journalists the train “sent a message of occupation.”

Saturday's ride was the first from Belgrade, the Serbian capital, to the northern Kosovo town of Mitrovica since the 1998 war. Reports say the train later returned to Belgrade.
