Vuk Jeremic said the international community will not allow a proclamation of Kosovo independence. In such an event, Serbia would do everything – save the use of force - to render the proclamation null and void, the foreign minister said in Moscow today. FM: Int'l community will not allow Kosovo independence “Serbia will use political, diplomatic, economic and legal means to render the decision null and void. Serbia will do everything to get things back on the earlier track and prevent this decision being taken, but it will not use force,” Jeremic said. “Serbia will never accept an illegitimate act that threatens its sovereignty and territorial integrity, because that would have dramatic consequences for the entire region,” Jeremic said. Speaking of relations between Serbia and Russia, he said that the two countries had a great opportunity for cooperation in the field of energy, and that he had also discussed various investments in Serbian industry with Russian bankers. Jeremic said that Moscow and Belgrade agreed that a visa-free regime needed to be put in place, and that “coordination for a final agreement is in its final phase.” “Now other institutions need to continue to cooperate and discuss liberalization of the visa regime,” the foreign minister said after meeting his Russian counterpart Sergai Lavrov in Moscow yesterday.
