"We will not recognize it (Kosovo) and this remains our stand," Lajcak said after a meeting with Skender Hyseni, appointed by the government in Pristina as its foreign minister.

Lajcak clarified in Kosovo that the aim of his visit is to give support to the process of regional cooperation.

"We would like to see real communication between Belgrade and Pristina and, at the same time, we want the Balkans to become part of the European Union," said Lajcak.

He also met with the Kosovo Albanian president and prime minister, Fatmir Sejdiu and Hashim Thaci.
