Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader Cedomir Jovanovic said that help needs to be given to both Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo. He told daily Blic that Belgrade should help Kosovo Albanians and Serbs, adding that if Belgrade cannot do so, it must not limit Kosovo Serbs from trying to “became active participators, instead of victims, of the circumstances which they are not responsible for creating.” LDP: Help for everyone in Kosovo Jovanovic said that LDP does not accept the idea of an “indirect recognition of independence,” which is used for internal political manipulation in Serbia. “Every meeting which contributes to speeding up Serbia’s European integration helps Serbia and its legitimate interests in Kosovo, and should be used. We cannot tie are own hands any longer in foreign and regional policies,” Jovanovic said. He said “the road to solving the Kosovo problem goes through Brussels, and not The Hague or the interpretation of the expected advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.” “Regardless of the contents of the opinion, it cannot be the foundation for new political conflicts between Serbia and its most important Western allies and neighbors in the region,” Jovanovic said.
