The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, said today that Belgrade will not allow Prishtina’s membership in the Council of Europe without a fight.

“I warned about the complexity of the issue of Prishtina’s membership in the Council of Europe and mentioned that membership will not go without a fight,” Dacic said in a statement to Tanjug from Lodz after a meeting with his Icelandic counterpart Tordis Kolbrun. R. Gilfadotir, whose country will take the presidency of the Council of Europe, writes Euronews Serbia.

“The issue of Prishtina’s membership destroys all the principles that we adhere to when it comes to the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” Dacic said and noted that for the first time such an important issue will be decided by overvoting or mutual accusations , not by consensus.
