In a statement to the news agency Beta, Samardzic said that now when new negotiations are to begin, it is of key importance that NATO and the US abandon the project of creating a satellite state in Kosovo-Metohija.
The Minister stressed that this project has nothing to do with the economic recovery of Kosovo-Metohija and reconciliation of Serbs and ethnic Albanians, and least of all with the European future of this part of Europe.
According to Samardzic, such a state would serve only the geopolitical and strategic military goals of the US, as well as the purposes of the local mafia groups in Kosovo-Metohija, and will make it impossible for people in the province to have a peaceful and prosperous future.
Due to these reasons, Serbia rejected the plan presented by Martti Ahtisaari, which in annexe 11 proposes establishing a permanent NATO presence in Kosovo-Metohija, stressed Samardzic.
He recalled that during the previous eight years the international community had the opportunity to verify the real goal of NATO military action against Serbia, which is the creation of a NATO state through independence for Kosovo-Metohija.
