Jeremic said at a joint news conference after meeting with German Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle that Serbia cannot stand behind a conclusion that could possibly be made, that would confirm Kosovo's independence.
Understanding between Berlin and Belgrade is better after meeting, he noted, but pointed out that he and his German counterpart have not achieved consensus on all issues which were discussed.
In the meantime, Serbia and the EU will try to find a solution for opening a dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina about disputable issues through a resolution.
This is according to an article in Belgrade's Politika daily, which writes that "this means that Belgrade and Brussels would find a way to modify Serbia's draft resolution which was sent to the UN (General Assembly)".
However, the visit of German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, which had been reported about as an attempt to pressure Serbia to change the text of the resolution on Kosovo, "did not close the door on negotiations", says the newspaper.
Both Serbia and the EU, which sent the German FM whose party is the biggest proponent of Serbia's accession into the EU, "obviously care about the agreement", the daily believes.
After Westerwelle's meeting with President Boris Tadic it was announced that they "agreed that Serbia's future is in the EU and that Germany is one of the most important political and economic partners for Serbia".
The agreement on the resolution was therefore the essence of their meeting, the daily said it learned from top Serbian officials.
