Serbia expects no more countries to recognise Kosovo

Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic stated today in Havana at the ministerial meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) that Serbia expects no more countries to recognise Kosovo’s independence and that Kosovo will not be allowed attendance or membership of international organisations.

Jeremic told the FoNet news agency that Serbia managed to have the assessment of the legality of the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo-Metohija by the International Court of Justice included in the final document of last year’s NAM conference in Tehran.

We got great support from NAM countries during the voting on Serbia’s resolution in the UN. We will use this opportunity in Havana to present them with the latest events related to Kosovo-Metohija, said Jeremic.

He announced that the global economic crisis will be one of the crucial topics in Havana.

Also, the Minister will have a number of bilateral meetings to discuss possibilities of economic cooperation with other NAM countries.

The conference is attended by 118 countries, which is almost two-thirds of the number of countries in the UN.

Serbia is taking part as a monitor and guest of Cuba.

Minister Jeremic will take part in the inaugural plenary session and the general debate and will hold bilateral meetings with the foreign ministers of other NAM countries.
