Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has told Sputnik that Serbia will ask all members of the UN Security Council to respect Resolution 1244.

He added that Serbia will also ask to keep sessions dedicated to Kosovo open.

According to the Russian website, Dacic said this following news of UK's intention to launch an initiative to either close UN Security Council sessions on Kosovo to the public or stop holding them altogether.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Thursday that he would continue his efforts to convince other countries to withdraw their recognition of Kosovo.

"We will continue to explain to everyone that the case of Kosovo is about secession by violence and separatism which runs counter to international law. We do not recognize that false state,” Dacic said in the town of Sevojno.

“This Government, this President of Serbia, this ruling coalition shall never recognize unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said, Danas daily.

Speaking about legally binding agreement, Dacic said those who are legal professionals they know, and he is not a one, however, he knows that such a thing does not exist, if there is an agreement it is also presumably binding.

France is “irritated” with Belgrade lobbying that more countries in the world withdraw recognitions of Kosovo and they did not hide their “scandalous intent,” to send protest notes to the countries which do so, from Serbia’s representative in the United Nations.

Kosovo is a priority in all Serbian diplomatic activities, Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told Novosti daily, adding that the visit of Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel is important since this country would now have more understanding for Serbia.

Dacic emphasized it is important “to reach to everyone,” but he does not expect the EU would act differently now.

“The EU suffers from a serious disease, and it is muteness and deafness when it comes to Serbia. Maybe this disease can be cured, but one should work on it,” Dacic said.

Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic said Serbia wishes to reach a compromised solution for Kosovo and Metohija, but this issue cannot be used in foreign policy trade as a condition to enter the EU, Tanjug news agency reported.

Dacic made these remarks in a conference “Training of Political Leaders,” held in Belgrade, adding that dialogue with Pristina is conducted in order to reach an agreement, but it cannot be unilateral, respectively one side gets it all, and the other side nothing.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic emphasizes today that it is not the first time that some Kosovo officials called Presevo and Bujanovac, eastern Kosovo, reminding that these are the goals since the Prizren League to the present day, report Serbian media.

Dacic was asked to comment Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj's statement on eastern Kosovo, and said that he does not know exactly what he said in Albanian but that he has no dilemma about it.

Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has told Politika that he can guarantee the number of countries that recognize Kosovo will fall under 100.

Dacic told the Belgrade-based newspaper over the weekend that this was his priority - and that it would help President Aleksandar Vucic, because his discussions about Kosovo would no longer proceed from "everything being a done deal".

Instead, the minister continued, Vucic will be able to say, "wait - in the last three months five countries revoked their recognition."

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has described statements saying that the ZSO would be formed in accordance with Kosovo's laws as "ridiculous."

That was something heard from an EU spokesperson earlier in the week.

Serbia should not leave the Brussels agreement, however, it should insist to know the time-frame of its implementation, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said in a show “Upitnik” aired on RTS.

“Pubic must understand that a dialogue on technical matters is currently being held, while a dialogue on permanent solution has not even started, since Pristina does not want such talks,” Dacic said.
