Slovakia could recognize Kosovo if Belgrade and Pristina sign agreement

Slovakia has always said it will recognize Kosovo once Belgrade and Priština sign an agreement to normalize their relations, said the country’s former Prime Minister Iveta Radičova.

She added that Slovakia will support Serbia strongly on its path towards EU membership.

Radičova said that her former government’s strategy was to support Serbia by refusing to recognize Kosovo, since it wanted a solution acceptable to both sides.

She noted that there should be no reason for Slovakia “not to support both Serbia and Kosovo as two independent countries once their relations have normalized.”
