After Spain "changed its mind" and allowed athletes from Kosovo to compete on its soil using their symbols, India has announced a ban on such a practice.
Both countries do not recognize the unilateral declaration of independence made by ethnic Albanians in 2008, while Serbia considers Kosovo its province and the proclamation a violation of the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Chairman of the Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun told RTS that if an agreement is reached with Pristina, which will regulate the final status of Kosovo, it will be necessary for Serbia's citizens to declare on it. He points out that EULEX ending its mission ''in the southern Serbian province on June 14, will further destabilize the Serb people''.
The most important message after visiting India, Nepal and Sri Lanka is that Serbia has three firm votes in favor of its territorial integrity and sovereignty.
This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Ivica Dacic, at the end of his tour of the three countries.
First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic met in Colombo on Monday with Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, the Serbian Government announced.
According to a press release, Dacic and Wickremesinghe "expressed readiness to intensify bilateral political dialogue at the high and highest level, as well as to enhance cooperation in all areas."
Serbia's First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic met on Friday in New Delhi with India's Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu, the Serbian government said.
They spoke about "bilateral cooperation and intensification of political dialogue between the two countries," and "agreed that friendly relations and cooperation are at a very high level, encouraged by last year’s visit of the then prime minister of Serbia and now President Aleksandar Vucic to India."
Serbian media reported about the meeting between the Serbian Prime Minister, Ana Brnabic and the Ambassador of the Republic of India, Narinder Chauhan, focused on further development of the economic co-operation and support of India regarding the Kosovo issue.
During the meeting, Indian Ambassador highlighted that India opposes membership of Pristina in international organizations.
