Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said today that Serbia will never do anything that would go beyond Kosovo's status neutrality.

Commenting on a statement of the President of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts Vladimir Kostic that the reality was that Kosovo is not in Serbia's hands neither de facto nor de jure, Dacic told the RTS that the reality was that Serbia does not have full sovereignty over a part of its territory but that either have it the authorities in Pristina.

Dacic said that Serbia's interest was to try to reach a lasting solution, stressing once again that Serbia will never recognise Kosovo's self-proclaimed independence.
