"Unlike Pristina (Kosovo Albanians) we do not have a superpower behind us," says Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic.

"This is not an equal fight. Hard days are ahead of us in the fight for Kosovo," Jeremic was also quoted as saying, and adding that "we likely won't be able to get out of it without a single scratch, without a single new recognition of Kosovo".
Despite that, the minister stated, Serbia will continue to use peaceful, political and diplomatic means to preserve its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Now on the margins of the OAS gathering in Lima, Peru, Jeremic met with many Latin American representatives, including those from the Bahamas, Ecuador, Panama, Uruguay, Guatemala, Barbados and Guayana.
"We are facing strong pressure for new recognitions of Kosovo. Unlike Pristina, we do not have a superpower behind us, we do not have someone who is able to offer great financial help or threaten that privileges or preferential treatment would be cut off," he said.
"One thing is certain. Although difficult days in our fight for Kosovo are ahead, there will be no surrender and no backing down," Jeremic sent his message.
