China's official position is that the issue of Kosovo needs to be solved pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1244, Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Manchang said in Jagodina on Wednesday.

The Resolution precisely states what Kosovo's status is and that Kosovo is an integral part of Serbia and, in that sense, Serbia has our full support, said Ambassador Li, who is visiting Jagodina on Wednesday.

Speaking at a press conference, he reminded that China has not recognised Kosovo.

Commenting on the Serbia-EU negotiations, the ambassador said that China respects Serbia's choice and that it supports the country's negotiations with the EU.
