Serbia will not recognise passports of the so-called independent state of Kosovo
Belgrade/Vienna,
18 July 2008
First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic said today in Vienna that Serbia will not recognise passports of the so-called independent state of Kosovo.
Responding to statements made by Montenegro and Croatia that they will recognise passports of the so-called Kosovo state, Dacic said in a statement to the Tanjug news agency that that is part of their state policy on the southern Serbian province and its unilaterally proclaimed independence, which some countries recognised, although that is not line with international law.
As for the Serbian government and the Ministry of Interior, we will not recognise passports of the so-called independent state of Kosovo. Any Serbian citizen who has the Kosovo passport will not be allowed to pass the administrative line and Serbia’s border crossings, Dacic said and added that the stamp of the so-called Kosovo state in the passports of foreign citizens will be invalidated and will be replaced by the stamp of the Republic of Serbia.
