Serbian FM says that EU does not have new conditions

Serbian FM Vuk Jeremić says he did not hear from EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule that a new condition for EU accession was to recognize Kosovo as independent.

The minister met with Fule in Brussels on Thursday.

After the meeting, Jeremić said that Serbia would never recognize Kosovo and added that the foreign policy priority would be regional cooperation.

“When it comes to recognizing Kosovo by Serbia today, tomorrow, or in three months’ time, in a year, or a century from today, my position remains the same,” said Serbia’s foreign minister.

Vuk Jeremić said that there was good will in the EC to make the report of Serbia’s progress in the EU integration positive but that one should be honest and say that Serbia still had not done many things and that it needed to finish the work.
