Vuciq: If they don't look down on Kosovo, we'll continue with the recognition campaign.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq has responded to Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti's statement that the lobby for Kosovo recognition has not been suspended, saying he will wait to see what the first international organisation will be where Kosovo applies for membership and will recognise [...]

“on that day, if their mentors are not warned, we will continue our campaign (against recognising Kosovo independence) and promise them that we will be five times more successful”, Vuciq said before journalists during a visit to Sremska Mitrovica.

Vuciq said Hoti's statement showed that “Albanians' signing of the Serb majority municipalities (Zajednica) as well as the given word (to US envoy for dialogue Richard) Greenelli means nothing”.

Vuciq also said the Serbian delegation was ready for talks on the economy and that the Kosovo delegation came to those talks, as he said, at the request for compensation of the war.

This is an economy for them, because they don't have factories and investments. We won't even talk about it. Dialogue must continue, but if the call is come to sign Kosovo's independence, don't even call us. We are always for dialogue and compromises that lead to resolution”, Vuciq said.

Prime Minister Hoti, during a report in the Kosovo Assembly on Friday on dialogue with Serbia, talking about the lobby for Kosovo, said that “has no suspension of our activities”.

“There is no suspension of our activities, we agreed with our partners that our membership in international organisations be done with them, along with our international partners. This is the truth”, he said.

The special envoy for dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, Richard Green, prior to the planned meeting at the White House on 27 June for the resumption of dialogue between the two sides, had said Serbia has agreed to temporarily suspend the campaign of Kosovo's independence recognitions, and Kosovo has agreed to suspend efforts to membership in international mechanisms, to give the prospect of continuing dialogue.

The meeting at the White House was cancelled following the publication of war crimes charges against Kosovo President Hashim Thaci by the Special Prosecutor's Office.

However, Hoti and Vuciq met in Brussels on 16 July. /rel/
