The chairperson of the biggest opposition party in Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Zoran Zaev, said that the government had unnecessarily “violated the friendship with Serbia when it voted in UNESCO that Serbian churches are handed over to Kosovo”.

“We have recognized Kosovo and this process is done. However, Macedonia had to be very careful when it voted on issue that is not political, but religious and which is specifically sensitive for friendly Serbian nation,” said Zaev.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, said that without Russian Federation, Serbian political partner in recent decades, Kosovo would already be admitted to the United Nations. "If Vladimir Putin would be Russian President at the time we were introduced sanctions, when Serbia was in problems and during the wars in former Yugoslavia, Serbia certainly would not have been bombed," said Dacic.

Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic met with representatives of students from Belgrade and Pristina faculties today, who last year, during the Kosovo initiative for membership in UNESCO, organized the "No Kosovo in UNESCO" campaign. Dacic thanked the students for their extensive contributions for Serbia’s victory in UNESCO.

Bishop of Raska and Prizren Teodosije will meet today in Belgrade with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, was said from the Serbian government’s office for media. The meeting starts at 15 a.m. at the Serbian government building but for now there are no details on the topics of the meeting.

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, in an interview with the Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency, said that Serbia's aggressive campaign against Kosovo's membership in international organizations, in which Kosovo was compared with ISIS, will undoubtedly adversely affect the continuation of the EU-brokered dialogue. “Serbia's aggressive campaign against Kosovo in UNESCO is an obstacle to continuation of the dialogue.

Political leadership in Pristina considers that it has lost just one battle but not the war, and in two years Kosovo will, better prepared and with a stronger international lobbying, again apply for membership in the United Nations agency that deals with the protection of cultural heritage in the world.

Sava Janjic, the Abbot of Visoki Decani Monastery, says Serbian heritage needs to be settled within the Brussels dialogue before any further discussion on UNESCO status.

Aleksandar Vucic has told Sputnik that the issue of Pristina's UNESCO membership will not be brought up during the Kosovo talks in Brussels.

The Serbian prime minister stressed that the Serbian delegation previously offered to discuss this issue there, but that this was "rejected, because Pristina's representatives were convinced they'd join UNESCO."
The organization's General Conference earlier in the week rejected the application.
