Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica stressed in his written statement today that Serbia decisively rejects the new draft resolution proposed by the US to the Security Council because it is a preparation for the province’s independence.

“Kosovo-Metohija will not be independent and this fact cannot be changed by US officials and their daily announcements in which they angle for the province’s independence.
It is very important for the sake of future relations between Serbia and the US that Washington should know Belgrade will never agree to have a large portion of its territory seized. If Serbia clearly points out that its essential state and national interest to preserve its territorial unity is in line with the UN Charter, it is only normal that all states wishing to maintain normal relations with Serbia respect this request.
Any country that attempts to take Kosovo-Metohija from Serbia must be aware that their mutual relations will be worsened. The explanation which states that the attempt to seize Kosovo-Metohija is in fact an act of friendship towards Serbia is completely unacceptable.
Such explanation is an insult to common sense, Kosovo-Metohija will remain an integral and unalienable part of Serbia because it is written in the US Charter and the Serbian Constitution”, reads the Prime Minister’s written statement.
