Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has rejected claims of the Kosovo Ambassador to the U.S. Vlora Citaku about Belgrade's "colonial tendencies toward Pristina."

Speaking at the end of the UN Security Council session on Kosovo, Dacic said that "we are not colonizers and will not allow to be spoken about in that way in the UN Security Council."

"What kind of colonialism are you talking about? Here sit countries that were liberated from colonialism. The first capital of Serbia was in Kosovo, the Serbian churches - you think it's enough that you come here and that you are supported by Western countries, to be able to say falsehoods?," asked the Serbian foreign minister.

In his reply, Dacic noted that Citaku's speech about Kosovo "shows how an ideal country is imagined."

"I wonder why migrants who pass through the Balkans do not go to Kosovo, since it's such an ideal country, but instead their citizens are fleeing from Kosovo to Western Europe. What kind of a country are you talking about?" said he.
