Serbia's position on Kosovo-Metohija's membership in international organisations is unchanged, the head of the government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Marko Djuric said Tuesday, reiterating that only an integral Serbia can be an EU member state.

Commenting on reports by some Serbian media that Germany will not ratify the agreement on Serbia's EU accession until Kosovo becomes a full UN member, Djuric said:

"Serbia's position regarding membership of our southern province in international organisations has not changed an iota. It is only as an integral country that Serbia can be a member of international organisations. Our position is based on international law and political and moral reasons," Djuric said at the third high-level regional forum on permanent solutions for displaced persons from Kosovo-Metohija.

Djuric said that Serbian officials maintain constant dialogue with officials of EU member states and that he does not want to comment on unofficial positions.

"No official, formal or informal signal has arrived regarding any new pressure" over the matter, Djuric said.
