Preservation of territorial integrity and the EU integration process remain Serbian government’s priorities, Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic has said. Anybody who wishes to lead a different policy will first have to get citizen’s support, he pointed out. “Territorial integrity, EU integration remain priorities” “This government got the mandate from the Serbian citizens for the policy that includes diplomatic actions directed at preservation of territorial integrity, sovereignty and therefore constitutional order and anybody who wishes to lead a different policy will first have to get citizens’ support,” the minister told B92. “When it comes to Kosovo and preservation of constitutional order, the government has both constitutional obligation and citizens’ support to continue such policy and until the citizens say otherwise we will carry out this kind of policy,” he pointed out. Jeremic said that a two-day Non-Aligned Movement ministerial conference in Belgrade had been an excellent opportunity to speak about Kosovo to all the participants. He expressed belief that a significant number of states that had been unsure whether to recognize Kosovo’s independence or not, no longer intended to recognize it after speaking to the Serbian officials. “Diplomatic persuasion, arguments and talks are the way we are resisting the attempts to persuade countries to recognize Kosovo,” the foreign minister stressed. “We do not have at our disposal support of some great powers like Pristina does, or millions of dollars in unregistered cash from narcotics trafficking that you can give away in suitcases around the world afterward,” he said. Jeremic repeated that an important message had been sent from the Belgrade summit that Serbia had a political capacity to organize such meetings and that “Serbia’s specific gravity is different and higher today”. Pointing out that a large number of meetings had focused on economy, the Serbian minister said that the level of political relations with countries Serbian authorities had meetings with was very important and added that relations with certain countries were excellent.
