Serbian Foreign Minister and First Deputy PM Ivica Dacic said that “many don’t like the success of our diplomacy.” They also do not like that a number of countries are reexamining their position on Kosovo, Dacic told the daily Vecernje Novosti.
He added that Serbia “will not give up.”
“We are asked to stop lobbying for withdrawals of recognitions (of Kosovo), while at the same time Pristina and its mentors would continue to lobby for new recognitions. That won’t happen,” Dacic told the newspaper.
He spoke after Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj suggested “a truce” that would consist of Belgrade ending its efforts to persuade countries to revoke their recognition – and in this way allow “a legally binding agreement on the normalization of relations to be reached in peace.”
“I don’t know in what other circumstances an agreement could be reached between Belgrade and Pristina – except in peace,” Dacic said. “It is obvious that Haradinaj is getting nervous and has adopted the manner of threatening and mentioning war. All I want to know is whether his vocabulary is being approved also by their allies,” Dacic told Vecernje Novosti.
