WASHINGTON: The United States called on Belgrade to pull its forces back from the border with Kosovo on Friday after detecting what it called an unprecedented Serbian military build-up.

"I have denied untruths where they talk about the highest level of combat readiness of our forces, because I simply did not sign that and it is not accurate," Vucic told reporters.Serbia said on Wednesday that the defense minister and head of the armed forces had gone to visit a"deployment zone" but gave no further details.

Kosovo's government has accused Belgrade of backing the entire operation, while a member of a major Kosovo Serb political party admitted to leading the gunmen, his lawyer said Friday.
