Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said in Adis Ababa that Serbia will never recognize Kosovo's independence, but can recognize its uniqueness (clarifying that by uniqueness he refers to the status of autonomy according to UNSC Resolution 1244 , talks based on that Resolution and the Serbian Constitution). He added that negotiations between Serbia, Kosovo and the EU are in a delicate situation, because dialogue with Pristina is a condition for Serbia’s entry into the Union. He also added that the creation of the independent state of Kosovo has served as a model for the creation of the Islamic State.

Nikolic, who is participating in the Summit of the African Union, recalled that the agreement reached in Brussels between Belgrade and Pristina should be implemented as of now: “Kosovo representatives are not ready to implement what they agreed on regarding the Serbian community. They even called upon their Constitutional Court, which stated that the agreement could not be implemented”, Nikolic said.

We also learned that Ethiopian leadership has confirmed that they will not change their position regarding the non-recognition of Kosovo.
