Dacic: Kosovo will not become UNESCO member, but it will join Interpol (Danas, Zeri)

Serbia’s Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, said that the situation with Kosovo’s membership at Interpol is more complicated than UNESCO membership. It is clear that Kosovo does not have more than two thirds of votes for UNESCO membership,” he said.

He added that he would meet on Friday with Minister of Internal Affairs, Nebojsa Stefanovic, to discuss Kosovo’s membership at Interpol, being that the problem stands on jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

“Interpol will hold an important meeting in September, in China. Except for Kosovo, Palestine and Solomon Islands have also submitted requests for membership. How can we say vote for Palestine but not for Kosovo,” explained Dacic.

“The UNESCO Executive Council is in October. They have time to file an application until then. If they do, the vote will be in November,” Dacic said, adding that Kosovo will never enter the organization.
