Serbia stresses it will not recognize Kosovo

Belgrade negotiating team chief Borislav Stefanović said on Wednesday that the first concrete results of the Kosovo talks can be expected early next month.

This would happen at the regular meeting of delegations of Serbia and the Kosovo Albanian authorities in Brussels.

Referring to demands heard for Serbia to recognize Kosovo – whose ethnic Albanians more than three years ago unilaterally declared independence – Stefanović said that those were “individual interpretations”.

“Nobody has asked Serbia to do so, nor will the country do that, because there is simply no way to force Serbia to do so,” he said.
