The Serbian foreign minister, who heads a Serbian delegation to the OAS Regular Session in Honduras, pointed out, however, that one should not rule out the possibility of individual recognitions.
"What is extremely important is that in our meetings and talks with 20 delegations that are taking part in this gathering, we have managed to prevent a massive recognition of Kosovo", Jeremic stressed.
"During our top-level talks, we have been told that the pressure on the countries of Central and South America has not lessened and that it was even possible that the pressure culminates here in Honduras causing a new wave of recognitions, but we have also been assured that in spite of all the pressure, the balance of forces in Latin America will be such that these countries will continue to support Serbia," the Serbian foreign minister underlined.
