Statement of Ulrike Lunacek in her interview with Radio Free Europe two days ago that Serbian religious and cultural heritage will be better protected if Kosovo becomes members of the UNESCO is only a fake argument of those who are pushing for Kosovo’s membership in UNESCO, said Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić.

Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said today that Serbia will never do anything that would go beyond Kosovo's status neutrality.

Commenting on a statement of the President of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Vladimir Kostic that the reality was that Kosovo is not in Serbia's hands neither de facto nor de jure, Dacic told the RTS that the reality was that Serbia does not have full sovereignty over a part of its territory but that either have it the authorities in Pristina.

The countries that have not recognized Kosovo are facing major pressures so as to agree to the admission of Kosovo into UNESCO, Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Tuesday.

On the other hand, several big countries have already voiced their principled opposition to the non-principled stands of the leading western countries that are co-sponsoring Kosovo's UNESCO membership request, Dacic said in a live broadcast on Radio-Television of Serbia (RTS).

Ivica Dacic addressed a UN gathering in New York on Sunday and spoke about the destruction of monuments of cultural and historical heritage in Kosovo.

He asked that "Kosovo not be rewarded for such activity" by allowing Pristina to join UNESCO.

Speaking during a gathering dubbed "Protecting cultural heritage - an imperative for humanity," the Serbian foreign minister said that "vandalism toward cultural monuments cannot be tolerated in any way."

Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted the countries that support Kosovo's accession to UNESCO. Decision of the Executive Committee on the eventual membership will be made after 20 October.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic sent a protest letter to the 44 countries, which have supported the Kosovo's request that the Executive Board of UNESCO discuss accession of Kosovo into this organization, learns Novosti.

Leader of the Socialist party of Serbia and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic warned ethnic Albanians from the south "not to compare the Community / Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO) with the formation of an association of municipalities with Albanian majority."

The future Community/Association of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO) should be formed very quickly, said Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

According to him, it will represent "the first political authority of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija since 1999."

Asked whether the ZSO was "a step towards a partition of Kosovo," Dacic told the Belgrade-based TV Pink this was "not being discussed at the moment."

Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic believes that Serbia can impede Kosovo's UNESCO membership in November by using diplomatic means and activating as many countries as possible to support its cause.

Dacic said that this topic would not be tabled in the first place, if Resolution 1244 was honoured.

Serbian First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic will represent Serbia at the regular session of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Kosovo.

During the session, Dacic will reflect on the report of the UN secretary general concerning UNMIK work for the period April 16-July 15 2015, and he will also voice Belgrade's assessment of the current situation in Kosovo and UNMIK actions, the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released.
