Kosovo: Serbia puts troops on high alert over rising tensions
By Guy De LauneyBBC News, Belgrade
The Serbian Army says it is at its " highest level of combat readiness" after weeks of escalating tensions between Serbia and Kosovo.
President Aleksandar Vucic says he will " take all measures to protect our people and preserve Serbia".
The sabre-rattling is louder than ever and follows media claims that Pristina is preparing " an attack" on ethnic Serb areas in north Kosovo.
The government in Pristina has made No Comment about the allegations.
But it has previously accused Mr Vucic of playing " games" to stir up trouble.
The European Union has been attempting to mediate.
The 27-member bloc is calling for " maximum restraint and immediate action" and for the leaders of Serbia and Kosovo to " personally contribute to a political solution".
Serbia refuses to recognise Kosovo as an independent state.
Kosovo, which has an overwhelmingly ethnic Albanian majority, broke away from Serbia after A War in 1998-99.
Nato, which has peacekeeping troops in Kosovo, has called on all parties to avoid provocations. The EU has warned it will not tolerate attacks on EU police or criminal acts.
