Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Da\u010di\u0107 expressed his support for fostering the best possible relations with the United States but emphasized that Serbia would not heed calls for recognizing Kosovo.<\/p>\n
During the celebration of America Day in the Serbian Parliament, an event organized by the Congress for Serb-American Friendship, Da\u010di\u0107 made it clear that any efforts to pressure Belgrade into recognizing Kosovo\u2019s independence would be in vain.<\/p>\n
Da\u010di\u0107 stated, \u201cAttempts to approach the Kosovo situation in this manner will never succeed. We have already signed the Brussels Agreement and continue to be a constructive partner in ongoing dialogues,\u201d as reported by the Beta news agency.<\/p>\n
Da\u010di\u0107 also highlighted that Serbia\u2019s relations with Russia should not be conflated with its relations with Western states.<\/p>\n
He pointed out the lack of high-level visits from US leaders to Serbia and the infrequency of visits from British leaders, emphasizing that such occurrences were not solely due to Serbia\u2019s perceived strength. He questioned the feasibility of establishing partnership relations with states that do not align with Serbia\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n
In contrast, US Ambassador to Belgrade Christopher Hill reaffirmed the stability of relations between Serbia and the United States, asserting that they were not contingent on developments in other countries.<\/p>\n
While Serbia does not officially recognize Kosovo\u2019s independence, the two nations have been engaged in a dialogue for the normalization of relations since 2011. This dialogue is facilitated by the European Union and supported by the United States.<\/p>\n
Kosovo seeks mutual recognition as part of any potential agreement, while Serbia pursues a compromise solution, although the specifics of such a compromise remain undefined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
