Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic says that no-one should prejudice the International Court of Justice’s decision about Kosovo’s unilateral independence declaration. “That’s why new recognitions of Kosovo’s independence aren’t to be encouraged. Nor should pressure be exerted on multilateral bodies to approve membership to the secessionist authorities in Pristina,” Jeremic told a Round Table in Athens. "Don't prejudice ICJ decision," warns Jeremic According to him, such initiatives could only jeopardize the balance on the ground, which was in no-one’s interest. The minister said that one of the priorities of Serbia’s foreign policy was regional cooperation in the Western Balkans, adding that Serbia was a necessary factor for stability in the region, that was key to its aspirations to join the EU. “If I had to sum up Serbian regional policy in one sentence, then that’s ‘more cooperation in more issues and more often,’” he said. However, he said that the fact that certain neighboring countries had recognized Kosovo was unfortunate and that it caused a rift in the region. Nevertheless, Belgrade would continue to conduct itself responsibly, underlined Jeremic. Vuk Jeremic (FoNet, archive)
