Dacic told the Belgrade-based daily Kurir that Kosovo's bid to join UNESCO is a distortion of the latest agreement reached by Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels.

He stressed that the agreement did not imply opening the door for Kosovo to be given a seat at the United Nations.

Dacic said that he had been warning about Pristina applying for UNESCO membership since the beginning of the year, and that he raised that topic on several occasions in meetings with international officials.

"We will do everything we can (to prevent Kosovo from joining UNESCO); we will ask experts to give their opinions on this matter", the Serbian foreign minister said.

Kosovo applied for UNESCO membership on July 16, and its Foreign Minister Hasim Taci posted on Twitter that he expects Kosovo to join this organization in November.
