First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia Ivica Dacic said that the number of countries that had recognised Kosovo’ independence would fall below 100, and then soon under the half of the 193 UN member states, Belgrade based Beta news agency reported.

Dacic told Belgrade based daily Blic that “Pristina authorities are in serious trouble” since their Interpol membership was supported only by 76 countries, two of which were not the UN member states.

“That means they have the support of 74 (UN Member) countries, while Pristina says 116 have recognised them so far. For the first time it becomes clear that was a lie,” he said.

“They (Kosovo authorities) have been accusing me of lying about the number of withdrawals, and now they say it’s a big problem. How come, when I was lying?” Dacic asked in the statement to the daily.
