Serbia's significant diplomatic victory at Interpol Assembly

Belgrade/Santiago, 15 October 2019

Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said in Chile today that withdrawing Pristina's application for membership in Interpol represents a major victory for the Republic of Serbia and international law.

Stefanovic, who heads the Serbian delegation at the 88th Interpol General Assembly in Santiago, said that thanks to the largest number of Interpol member states deciding not to support the Pristina institutions' application, Pristina's request for admission was withdrawn shortly before that body's session.

He stressed that this is a significant diplomatic victory for Serbia, but also the victory of international law, police and all those states who spoke in favor of not allowing the politicization of Interpol.

The Minister expressed his gratitude to all the people from the Serbian team, from the Ministries of Interior and Foreign Affairs, the Office for Kosovo-Metohija, but also to all those who have worked tirelessly in the past year and helped to have this outcome.

Stefanovic expressed his gratitude to all the states that together with the Republic of Serbia protected international law and those who lobbied with us for the result to be this way.

Thank you to the citizens of Serbia who supported us and who believed in our delegation. Thank you to everyone who supported and made the result great for our country. This is a great day for international law and a great day for the Republic of Serbia, concluded Stefanovic.
