Kosovo's admission to European football's governing body UEFA is evidently a political decision and a result of major political pressure.

Foreign Minister in the outgoing Serbian government Ivica Dacic said this on Tuesday.

He also reiterated that Serbia "will never recognize Kosovo" - its southern province where ethnic Albanians in 2008 unilaterally declared independence.

"Kosovo's admission to UEFA is just another warning that we live in a world of interests and politics, rather than one of law and rules, that Serbia must treat this fact in a realistic and rational way, and that, in the case of Kosovo, even the UEFA Statute may be violated just to fulfil the promises of the sponsors of Kosovo's independence," Dacic said, Tanjug reported.
