The Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic declared Friday to have submitted to President Aleksandar Vucic four diplomatic notes pertaining to states that have withdrawn their recognition of Kosovo’s independence.
“The National Security Council authorized President Vucic to inform the general public about the countries in question when he deems it necessary”, Selakovic said.
With this gesture, as Selakovic stated, Serbia wants to give a chance to the member states of the Council of Europe not to initiate the procedure of Kosovo’s admission to this organization in June, reported Euronews Serbia.
“In this way, we want to show our readiness to discuss and reach a solution through dialogue and not in a unilateral way”, he added.
Selakovic said Serbia’s intelligence service learned that “at least two states” are working on providing serious logistical support to Prishtina in its campaign for recognition, as well as halting the counter-recognition campaign led by Serbia.
Serbia’s National Security Council convened right after Prishtina submitted a formal request to become a member of the Council of Europe.
Today, our MFA @gervallaschwarz handed over Kosova's application to @coe. Our full membership would not only be a strong signal to all democratic forces in the region but also a major step for Europe as a whole, with whom we share our commitment to the protection of human rights.
