Israeli Ambassador to Serbia shows why they refused to recognise Kosovo for 12 years

Asked why Israel changed its view on Kosovo's independence after 12 years of refusal to recognise it, Willan said there were two reasons why recognition of Kosovo was the first problem, according to him, was that recognition of such a move could be exploited by Palestinians, and as another reason, has cited the relationship with Serbia.

“Procedures have not been completed, there have been no meetings between officials, diplomatic notes have not been exchanged, but this does not mean that the process is not continuing or that it can be turned back”, Vilan said in an interview with “Politique”.

Asked if he talked to Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq about transferring Serbia's embassy to Jerusalem, Vilan responded that no details were discussed

Mr. Green is grateful. Vuchy for what he has done for our relations and his decision made before the Washington summit to open an economic office in Jerusalem, which is an important action not only economic but also political for both countries” said Vilan.
