Vucic: “No” to the European Parliament’s request for recognition of Kosovo

THE Aleksandar Vucic announced that it will not recognize the request of the European Parliament, which asks Serbia to recognize Kosovo as an independent state.

Specifically, the European Parliament voted today for a declaration in which it is stated that at the end of the negotiations “Serbia and Kosovo are expected to sign an agreement on the normalization of relations based on mutual recognition”. It is the first time that an official EU document asks Serbia to recognize the independence of Kosovo. “Serbia, nicely, decently and politely says, no. We don’t even intend to consider this possibility,” answered Vucic.

The European Parliament’s declaration also mentions Belgrade’s attitude towards Moscow. Serbia is called upon to harmonize with the EU’s foreign and security policy and immediately impose sanctions on Russia. This issue is even defined as a criterion for the progress of accession negotiations. Aleksandar Vucic reiterated that the political leadership remains committed to Serbia’s European path and pointed out that “as important as joining the EU is, it is equally important that Serbia maintains the right and freedom to decide based on its national interests.”
