Serbian Interior Minister says north Kosovo Serbs could declare independence

Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic says that partitioning Kosovo would be the only viable long-term solution. On May 15th, he said that Serb-dominated parts of Kosovo should be acceded to Serbia, while the Albanian-populated part should be allowed to secede. The minister stressed that this is his personal opinion, adding “while Pristina could declare independence, then also Serbs in the north could declare independence without consulting Pristina.”
