President of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Art (SANU) Vladimir Kostic said that it was "important to express an opinion and when it is not suitable to the collective mind."

Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic told ambassadors in Belgrade today that a consideration of the Kosovo's application for admission into UNESCO would have a negative impact on the dialogue in Brussels and that any imposed agreement would be a hotbed of future conflict.

Serbian president's media advisor Stanislava Pak stated on Thursday that Serbia will do everything it can to access the EU but she also noted that the country made it clear at the very beginning of the process that it will not fulfil the condition that refers to recognition of the so-called independence of Kosovo.

 “I think that it is time for a national consensus on how to act further with regard to Pristina, especially because it seems that the West is no longer willing to allow the name Pristina to appear in official documents,” Nikolic told reporters in Belgrade.

A potential admission of Kosovo to UNESCO would mean a start of annihilation of Serbia, says Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic.
