Romania is under pressure to change its stance on Kosovo and recognize the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, but Bucharest will not change its position. This was conveyed to Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic by his Romanina counterpart Lazar Komanesku at the margins of the South-East European Cooperation Process meeting held in Sofia last week.

“We talked and I repeatedly presented Serbia's arguments that status neutral dialogue can be the only way forward for settling open issues with Pristina. I was assured that there is nothing to worry about for the time being and that Bucharest will not change its decision to not recognize Kosovo,” said Dacic to the paper.
