Serbian FM: "Granting independence to Kosovo may be an example for Nagorno Karabakh and other unrecognized institutions"

03 November 2006 [15:04] - TODAY.AZ
Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Draskovich said that Kosovo may be an example for Nagorno Karabakh.

The Minister said that in case that Kosovo achieves its independence it will be a precedent for Nagorno Karabakh and other unrecognized institutions in Post Soviet space, APA reports.

He said that while discussing Moldova's sovereignty and integrity Serbia voted for such kind of resolution.

The Minister said it is impossible to agree to Kosovo's independence even theoretically.

"We will not allow Kosovo's accession to the UN and organizations stressing the sovereignty of states openly. We will keep to this principle even in the most severe diplomatic struggle," the Minister said.

Vuk Draskovich said if the UN grants independence to Kosovo, it will be an example for Transdniestria, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh, Northern Cyprus, Basque in Spain and even Ireland.

"I counted. Nearly 40 states of the world may achieve independence," the Minister said.
