Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told TV Pink the aim of Belgrade is to bring down the number of states that recognized unilaterally declared Kosovo independence below 97, adding that Somalia is on the way to reconsider its decision as well.

“Our aim is that the number drops below 97, respectively less than half of the UN member states,” Dacic told TV Pink, saying it is also the aim, so Pristina, when it comes to the voting would have no perspective to pass.

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic paid a visit to the Federal Republic of Somalia yesterday, where he held bilateral talks with the President of that country, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo, and with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

A mutual readiness to restore traditionally friendly relations of the two countries that date back to the time of close cooperation within the Non-Aligned Movement was expressed at the meeting.

Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic was in the presidential palace of Somalia at the time of a terrorist attack. At the moment, when the explosion was heard, Dacic was speaking with the President of Somalia, who "jumped up when the blast was heard."

"We are used to this, we have been bombed (by NATO)," Dacic said at that point, Tanjug is reporting, while the Somali President told him that if he had Westerners there, they would have immediately fled.

As Dacic told Tanjug, he was informed that the target of the attack was a former Somali Foreign Minister.
