Daciq: Eight percent of UN members withdrew recognition of Kosovo

Dacic said during a speech today in Serbia's Parliament that 15 countries that have drawn the decision to recognise Kosovo represent eight percent of the total vote in the UN.

According to him, there will be more places to withdraw the decision.

Our “goal is to create a better position in talks on Kosovo's future, and, by the end of the year, to reduce the number of countries that have recognised Kosovo under half of UN members”, he said.

Dacic also said everyone should be convinced that Kosovo has no chance of membership in Interpol.

Don't worry, that's what I told them in time. They (Kosovo) must lift tariffs, and create association in order to continue dialogue,” he noted.

Dacic recalled that at a meeting in Helsinki, he asked EU representatives whether they would stop lobbiing about Kosovo, but who, according to him, were all silent.

Recently, the Kosovo Foreign Ministry has accused the Government of Serbia and the Serbian Foreign Minister's cabinet of buying the withdrawal of Kosovo recognitions.

Included in the bribery of attracting recognitions, Serbia's Foreign Minister Vladimir Cizelj, who is known for his criminal past and links to organised crime networks outside Europe, is mentioned.

Otherwise, Kosovo's Foreign Ministry website features 116 states that have recognised Kosovo.
