"Dangers produced by Kosovo precedent become clear"

Djuric spoke on the anniversary of the ethnic Albanians' unilateral declaration of independence of Serbia's southern province - a proclamation adopted by acclamation in the assembly in Pristina on February 17, 2008. Serbia rejected the proclamation, saying it violated its Constitution and territorial integrity.

According to Djuric, quoted by the Beta agency, "in light of the turbulent events today on the European and world political scene, it can be concluded that taking international law lightly when it came to Kosovo was a big mistake and a misconception."

"The newly created events on the world stage teach us in an extremely clear way the lesson that unilateralism, disrespect for the positions of others, extreme acts and the ultimate subjectivity in international politics are introducing a defeat of humaneness and a moral and social crisis," he said.

Djuric added that the decision to proclaim Kosovo as independent was unlawful and as far as Serbia is concerned, "does not produce any legal effect today, just as it did not then."

Serbia, as he pointed out, "continues to provide unconditional support to Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija in the protection and fulfillment of their living, civic, religious and property rights."

Djuric said he was "deeply convinced that, as long as Serbs gather in monasteries and churches in Kosovo, as long as there are teachers and students and new generations are born, Serbia will, with its people, survive in Kosovo despite anyone's desires, wishes, interests, the redrawing of international law and attempts to falsify history."

Serbia, as he pointed out, opted for "the difficult Brussels talks" for the sake of the Serb community, "holding a principled belief in dialogue as the only possible way to establish lasting peace and stability, and not only in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija."

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
