Russian FM: dialogue between Belgrade and Priština should be based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244

Russian FM Sergei Lavrov says that the future dialogue between Belgrade and Priština should be based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244.

Lavrov stated that Russia favored “all moments concerning the solution of the Kosovo question to be solved based on that resolution”.

It is on that basis that it is possible and necessary to find mutually acceptable solution within the dialogue, which should start between Belgrade and Priština based on the UN General Assembly decision, he said. The Russian minister noted that complex processes were unfolding in the Balkans, and that Kosovo was the most complicated of all.
