Serbia will not recognize Kosovo, it is stated in the drafts of the National Security Strategy and the Defense Strategy of the Ministry of Defense.

A public debate will be taking place on both drafts through May 15, where representatives of state bodies, professional public, as well as everyone interested will participate, Belgrade-based daily Blic is reporting.

The newspaper published excerpts from the documents, that state Serbia will not recognize the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo, but that, in the interest of regional stability and better Serb-Albanian relations, dialogue with the provisional institutions in Pristina will continue with the mediation of the EU, until a "sustainable and mutual agreement" is reached.

It is further stated that Serbia is committed to consistent implementation of all the agreements reached within the framework of the Brussels agreement, and that it will work actively in international organizations and through bilateral cooperation to prevent membership of Kosovo in international organizations, the UN in particular, as welll as affirmation of the unilaterally declared independence.
