Serbia issues “timely warning”

“The Serbian government particularly stresses that the UN SC Resolution 1244 has binding power over all UN member countries and not a single of these countries may violate this resolution and unilaterally take a stand regarding the future status of the province,” the statement continued.

“Any recognition of the independence of Kosovo-Metohija will be in brutal violation of the UN norms, the UN Charter and the valid Resolution 1244,” the statement continued.

“The Serbian government is giving a timely warning that Belgrade will reject any recognition of Kosovo-Metohija’s independence as invalid, since it will be nothing but direct interference in Serbia’s internal affairs.”

“In that case, Serbia will insist that the UN Security Council, respecting its own Resolution 1244, protect and confirm the inviolability of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and its internationally recognized borders,” the statement concluded.
