EU's decision to illegally send mission to Kosovo violates Serbia's sovereignty, territorial integrity and constitutional order

Belgrade, 5 February 2008

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today that the EU's decision to illegally send a mission to Kosovo-Metohija in order to enforce Martti Ahtisaari's plan for an independent Kosovo that had been previously rejected is a clear indication that Albanian separatists will proclaim unilateral independence of the province very soon.

Kostunica said in a written statement that through this decision the EU has directly violated Serbia's sovereignty, territorial integrity and constitutional order.

The decision on the illegal deployment of the mission means that the EU together with Albanian separatists are creating a fake Albanian state on Serbian territory contrary to all the principles of international law, underlined the Serbian Prime Minister.

According to him, that is why the proposal of the EU to sign the political agreement with Serbia, while at the same time sending a mission for its dismemberment, is an attempt to trick Serbia into giving consent for Kosovo's independence by signing the agreement with the EU. By doing this, Serbia would become the first state to indirectly recognise independent Kosovo.

Serbian parliament should convene immediately before the unilateral independence of Kosovo is declared and in line with the Constitution and resolutions it adopted, reach the necessary decisions about the agreement offered by the EU and its mission, Kostunica concluded.
