Slovakia will not alter its stand after the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had announced its advisory opinion, and will not recognize Kosovo. This is according to the country's Foreign Minister Mikulas Dzurinda. Slovakia sees "no reason for changes" "It is not necessary to change anything. Our stand is well-known from the very beginning and it is still valid. I don't see any reason for any changes," Dzurinda, a former premier of Slovakia, said in an interview published by Belgrade's Vecernje Novosti saily on Tuesday. He also said that Slovakia was trying to assist all processes that would lead to any kind of understanding between Belgrade and Pristina. "It is our firm stand. We are not against Kosovo. We are for a peaceful solution to the issue. We want to be part of a policy that will stimulate European integrations and Belgrade to have the top level of communications," said Dzurinda. Dzurinda said that Slovakia was not subjected to external pressure to recognize Kosovo. Slovakia is one of five EU countries that have not made the recognition. Kosovo's ethnic Albanians made the unilateral proclamation in February 2008, but Belgrade rejects it as illegal.
