SARAJEVO, Feb 15 (KUNA) -- The Serbian government said Friday it adopted a series of resolutions against the Kosovo Parliament's imminent decision to announce independence of the province, which is under UN administrative rule and considered by Belgrade as a Serbian territory.
The Serbian government said in a statement, quoted by the Belgrade One Radio station, there were "secret resolutions" adopted in a closed-door meeting today which include "punitive" measures against Kosovo.
These measures include, among other things, the cutting of power supply and imposing economic siege, it said.
The Serbian minority in Kosovo, who live in the north of the province, would not be affected by those measures, it added.
Observors said the Serbian government would consider Kosovo "illegitimate regime" if it declared independence.
Serbian Prime Minister Voijslav kostunica believed it is important to sever ties with countries recognizing Kosovo's independence, but President Boris Tadic, who has limited authorities, oppose this measure.
Kosovo's Prime Minister Hashim Tachi said in a statement to Pristina TV that he formed an "emergency committee" to act against the Serbian government's punitive measures.
Tachi warned against sabotage actions that might be carried out by the Serbian government once independence is announced.
The Nato forces in Kosovo said they are in control of the situation in the province and would not allow security breaches. (end) ar.bs KUNA 160042 Feb 08NNNN
