Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said that the signing of an agreement with the EU, which EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn sought today, is not in Serbia's state and national interest as it will be interpreted as signing away Kosovo’s independence.
Kostunica said in a statement to the Tanjug news agency, following today’s statement by the EU Enlargement Commissioner that the EU intends to sign the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) with Serbia before the May 11 elections, that Rehn supports the unilateral independence of Kosovo-Metohija and the signing of the SAA with Serbia.
The signing of this agreement is obviously in the interest of Rehn and EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security Javier Solana and is obviously against Serbia’s state and national interest, he underlined.
