(4 years ago)Russia's Ambassador to Belgrade, Aleksandar Bocan Kharchenko, said Moscow would not recognise Kosovo, as he called it, the self-declared “”, and that it would stay in line with its policy. “Requesting implementation of Resolution 1244, which must be implemented, both in our opinion and in accordance with international law”, [...]
“Request the implementation of Resolution 1244, which should be implemented, both in our opinion and in accordance with international law”, Bocan Kharchenko said on the Insader Tv show.
He expressed Russia's position in response to the question of whether Russian President Vladimir Putin's statement that the self-declared People's Republic of Donetsk and the Luhansk People's Republic became independent on the basis of the International Court of Justice's precedent to decide on Kosovo's independence would mean changing Russia's stance.
“There are no signals that the Russian Federation may change its position on this issue”, the Russian ambassador to Serbia said, Nezavisne reports, broadcast Clankosova.tv.
Kosovo's” independence should not be linked to Dombas' secession. Citizens of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics do not recognise the government in Kiev, which is the result of an illegal and unconstitutional coup”, Kharchenko said, stressing that they voted in a referendum to secede from Ukraine, which is not the case with Kosovo.
