The issue of Kosovo is "difficult for Serbia" - and one of the conditions put before Serbia, says Slovakia's foreign minister.

This is the case "because the EU does not want to be put in the position of a judge," Ivan Korcok told students at University of Belgrade's Faculty of Political Sciences.

The Slovak official reiterated that his country will remain consistent, and will not recognize Kosovo.

"As far as we are concerned, nothing has changed. We will not recognize Kosovo, not because of Serbia, although we understand your situation, but because for us this is a matter of principles, and we will remain consistent," Korcok said in Belgrade on Tuesday.
