Serbia strongly condemns decision on admission of Kosovo to IOC
Belgrade,
9 December 2014
First Deputy Prime Minister o and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today that Serbia strongly condemns today's decision on admission of the Kosovo Olympic Committee to the full membership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
We deem such decision unacceptable and unprincipled, while believing that this act is contrary to the Olympic Charter, which envisages that the applicant for the membership should come from an independent state recognized by the entire international community, he said.
With this decision the IOC has violated the hitherto practice according to which the admission requires the membership in the UN.
Such an act is the abuse and politicisation of sports, and an universal organisation dedicated to the development of understanding and friendship the IOC has taken the position of a political arbitrator.
