Jeremic: Three priorities of fight for Kosovo

He stated that in the previous two years, the Serbian diplomacy has proved successful in the realization of two priorities, given that two thirds of the world countries do not recognize Kosovo in spite of the pressure of some of the most important countries and that Kosovo has not become a member of any international organization, besides the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank where the voting system favors the US influence.

The Serbian Foreign Ministry received Wednesday from the World Health Organization (WHO) an official notification saying that the Kosovo application was refused owing to an urgent diplomatic intervention.

"Two years ago, it looked like the wave of the recognition of Kosovo could not be stopped after the biggest world powers recognized it. We managed to halt the process bearing in mind the pressure that US has exerted and now everything is relative even the status of Kosovo," Jeremic said in a statement for the Belgrade-based daily Blic.

According to him, a critical period is coming since when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) voices its opinion, the pressure to continue Kosovo's recognition will be increased whereas Serbia is determined to confront it and rebuild the dialogue on the status of Kosovo.

As for the third priority, drawing attention to violation of human rights, particularly the freedom of movement, the Serbian Foreign Ministry is preparing a determined presentation at a ministerial conference on human rights in Geneva early in March.

All Serbian ambassadors were given the task to present the host countries with the violation of human rights in Kosovo, he said.
