BELGRADE (Sputnik) - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic will hold an emergency meeting of the country's national security council on Saturday over the escalation of the situation in the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, Radio and Television of Serbia reported on Friday.

The meeting will take place at 8:00 a.m. local time (06:00 GMT), according to the Radio and Television of Serbia.
