/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russian UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin has received
a letter from Serbia’s Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic.

In the letter, Jeremic urges Security Council members to discuss
the situation in Kosovo following the excessive use of force by
UN peacekeepers and KFOR against Serbs in the town of Kosovska
Mitrovica as early as possible. "The UN mission’s mistake may end in
uncontrollable developments in the region," he said.

The spokesman for Russia’s UN mission said the Jeremic’s letter had
already circulated among members of the Council.

Mr Jeremic has also addressed a letter to UN Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon to protest "the absolutely unacceptable and excessive use of
force by international troops in Kosovska Mitrovica on Monday."

"Dispersal of rioting Serbs questions the UN mission’s good
intentions," he said, RIA Novosti reports.
