Dacic: Serbia will have tough fight on its hands at UNESCO

By October 12, we will know whether the admission of Kosovo will be on the agenda of the Executive Council meeting, and by October 21, we will know if it will be supported by that body, Dacic said.

“We will have a hard fight on our hands as Western countries are exerting enormous pressure on the countries that have not recognized Kosovo not to vote against it (admission to UNESCO),” Dacic said in a statement for Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) on Wednesday.

Kosovo’s admission to UNESCO is a difficult issue facing the Serbian state and people, because it is striking at the very essence of existence and identity of our people. This land is where the Serbian church and statehood were born. If this is to become Kosovo’s cultural heritage, then it is an attack on the identity of the Serbian nation, said Dacic.

Kosovo’s admission to UNESCO would be as absurd as admitting the Islamic State to that organization, as one cannot expect seeing those who have not so long ago been destroying Serbian monuments starting to protect them all of a sudden, Dacic said.
