Serbia will not sign agreement with which it would recognise false Kosovo state
Belgrade,
26 April 2008
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today that anyone who would sign on behalf of Serbia the agreement with the EU would become an accessory to realisation of the true goal of that agreement – dismembering of Serbia and recognition of Kosovo’s independence.
Kostunica told Tanjug news agency that he believes that every citizen of Serbia sees that there is something very wrong with that agreement which is offered to Serbia for signing.
He said that statements of Olli Rehn and other EU officials show that the real goal of its signing is only one, and that is to have grounds to claim tomorrow that Serbia has recognised the independent Kosovo.
According to Kostunica, the unilateral independence of Kosovo was proclaimed on purpose after the initialling of the agreement and before its signing, so that Serbia’s signature might be interpreted as recognition of independence of the first NATO state in the world.
I will give a concrete example. If now, after 17 EU states recognised the unilateral independence of Kosovo, Serbia signed the agreement with the EU, then all those 17 states would think that the agreement was signed not with whole Serbia, but with Serbia without Kosovo, Kostunica explained.
He said that we must raise a question today who is that in Serbia who can ignore those facts and hide the real goal of the agreement that has been offered to our country.
The one who hides these facts becomes an accessory to realisation of the true goal of that agreement – dismembering of Serbia and recognition of unilateral independence of that false state, Kostunica said and added that that is why no one can ever sign on behalf of Serbia an agreement that is against her.
