Bosnia should stay out of Kosovo issue, Serbian FM Dacic said (Tanjug, B92)

"Denis Zvizdic's saying that a change of borders means opening Pandora's box is meaningless and ridiculous," Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said. Instead, Dacic continued, recognitions of Kosovo opened Pandora's box - and now "no one is asking Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) how this issue will be resolved."

"We don't care what they think, who's asking them how the issue of Belgrade and Pristina will be resolved - who are they to give any opinion about it?," Dacic told reporters after laying a wreath on Slavija Square in Belgrade, to mark May 1, Labor Day in Serbia.

Bosnia doesn't recognize Kosovo, and if members of its Presidency don't respect Serbia's territorial integrity, they are undermining friendly relations.

That would trigger a reciprocal reaction, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said, reacting to Zeljko Komsic's statement that Kosovo is "an independent state to him."

Not only will Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) not recognize Kosovo - it will not even consider doing it, says the country's foreign minister, Igor Crnadak.

Crnadak told the agency Fena on Friday that Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj urging Sarajevo to recognize Kosovo "will have no effect," and described Haradnija's statements as "futile".

The issue of recognizing Kosovo will not even be considered by the end of the mandate of the current Council of Ministers, he added.
