Vuk Jeremic says some UNESCO Committee for the Protection of World Cultural Heritage members tried to re-designate Serbian heritage as "Kosovo's heritage". But the attempt failed, the Serbian foreign minister revealed. Serbia "wins diplomatic war" over heritage in Kosovo "Luckily, this did not happen, but what did happen is that a true diplomatic war was fought over this issue in the past 72 hours in Paris," Jeremic told reporters after a meeting of the Southeast Europe Cooperation Process (SEECP) in Montenegro on Wednesday. He said yesterday, Serbia managed to defend itself "from the attempt to steal our identity and falsify history." According to him, the countries which helped Serbia and prevented this were Russia, China, Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, Mali, Egypt, Cambodia and Mexico. "Serbian Orthodox monasteries are not and cannot be cultural monuments of Kosovo," Jeremic stressed. He added that as long as Serbian people remained proud of who they were, these attempts would be unsuccessful. The UNESCO World Heritage Convention took place in Paris from June 19 to 29.
