Cyprus: Independence of Kosovo is unacceptable

Serbian President Boris Tadic and his Cypriot counterpart Dimitris Hristofias said in Nicosia yesterday the two countries have traditionally excellent relations and consistently support each other in the preservation of territorial integrity.

Such relations were additionally strengthened in the years that were hard for Serbia, said Tadic and added Cyprus supports Serbia in its EU integrations and in the defence of its sovereignty and territorial integrity in Kosovo. Cyprus is one of the five EU states that have not recognized the self-proclaimed independence of Kosovo.

Serbia yesterday assured the government of Cyprus that it will ‘never' recognise the breakaway north of Cyprus.

President Hristofias in turn described as ‘unacceptable' the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo.
