While the referendum in Crimea was an annexation, it is alright when Kosovo becomes independent, contrary to the UN SC Resolution, Czech President, Milos Zeman said, Serbian media reported.

“I have criticized Kosovo’s secession from Serbia, considering it as an obvious violation of the UN SC Resolution that guarantees the territorial integrity of Serbia with Kosovo, Zeman said to the Czech TV station Barandov.

He also added that not the same standards are applied when it comes to the cases of Crimea and Kosovo.

“However, here happened, what we call “double standards”. While the referendum in Crimea is an annexation, it is alright when Kosovo becomes independent, contrary to the UN SC Resolution.”

According to him, he reacted on Kosovo independence by refusing to send an ambassador to Pristina, while in Prague there is still no Charge d’Affaires from Kosovo.
