Unity of parliamentary parties on Kosovo is necessary
Belgrade,
4 March 2008
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica called on parliamentary parties today to confirm unity on the political position that Kosovo is an integral part of Serbia and that Serbia wants to enter the EU in its entirety.
Kostunica said in a statement to the Tanjug news agency that if all of us truly stand behind the state and national principle that Kosovo is Serbia, then we must all unanimously support the stance that Serbia with Kosovo-Metohija can become an EU member.
He said that this joint policy can be satisfactory both for parties that strongly insist on European integration and for parties that strongly insist on the defence of Kosovo.
That is why it is very important to avoid divisions on the EU issue and at this moment to confirm the unique state and national policy; that Serbia wants to continue the process of European integration territorially intact with its southern province, Kostunica said.
The Serbian Prime Minister warned that insistence at any price on party only positions and disruption of the established national unity would cause Serbia great damage.
That is why I call on everyone to confirm the policy which Serbia has been conducting for years in the defence of its essential interests and to state clearly that Serbia will go into the EU only with Kosovo as its constituent part, Kostunica underlined.
