Ambassador of Serbia to UNESCO Darko Tanaskovic said that Pristina, due to changed international circumstances today, would have much less chance of joining that UN organization compared to 2015, when its application for membership was rejected.

Pristina is yet to officially apply for UNESCO membership, and that is why the topic has not been included in the session of organization's Executive Board.

The session, which started on Wednesday, will determine the agenda for the General Conference that will be held in November, RTS is reporting.

Since UNESCO's plenary meetings will start as soon as on Monday, the chances of Pristina applying are minimal, Serbia's ambassador to UNESCO, Darko Tanaskovic, has confirmed.

Serbian Ambassador to UNESCO Darko Tanasković says that Turkey is among the most agile countries that are lobbying for membership of Kosovo in UNESCO, adding that it is a part of their Neo-Ottomanism strategy.

Should Kosovo become a UNESCO member, the consequences for the Serb identity and cultural heritage in the province would be unforeseeable.

This is according to Serbian Ambassador to UNESCO Darko Tanaskovic.

In that case, UNESCO documents would list medieval Serbian monuments, churches and monasteries as cultural assets in the territory of a "state of Kosovo", rather than in Serbia, Tanaskovic has told Jedinstvo.
