In a statement to the news agency Tanjug, Kostunica stressed that the issue of the future status of Kosovo-Metohija must be resolved only in accordance with the Resolution 1244 and that excludes the possibility that Serbia could accept transferring the process of resolving this issue from the Security Council to an international conference.
Kostunica reiterated that any solution approved by the Security Council must certainly be in accordance with the law and the UN Charter since it is unimaginable that the Security Council could bring a decision to seize the territory of an internationally recognised state.
Serbia and Russia have a joint principled policy which is founded on full respect of international law and this is the best guarantee that the UN Charter will never be violated in the Security Council when it comes to the question of Serbia’s territorial integrity.
