Ivica Dacic (Beta/Foreign Ministry)
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic on July 28 once again said that Serbia would resume its derecognition campaign, if Pristina continued lobbying for the recognition of Kosovo as an independent state and for its membership in international organizations.
Dacic told TV Pink that Belgrade was ready for the talks and compromises, but stressed that it would strongly defend Serbia’s national interests.
“Due to Pristina’s unilateral actions, the dialogue had been pushed into the state of reanimation, nothing was happening and there were many unilateral activities threatening to seriously jeopardize peace in this region,” Dacic said, noting that Kosovo had been going through a continued political legitimacy crisis.
Commenting on Washington’s stand on the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Dacic said that President Donald Trump’s administration was that the U.S. would accept a compromise between the two parties: “It is enough for us,” Dacic noted.
Speaking about the formation of a new Serbian cabinet, Dacic said he and the Serbian president and the Serbian Progressive Party leader, Aleksandar Vucic, had not discussed the distribution of ministerial posts in a future cabinet, describing that as “a technical issue.”
Dacic added that this Socialist Party of Serbia was ready to continue cooperation with the Progressives in a new government.
