Spain is one of the five EU member-states that have chosen not to recognize the Kosovo Albanian unilateral independence declaration.

This position will not change even after last years advisory opinion rendered by the ICJ, Jimenez told Jeremic.

A statement after the meeting said that Jimenez commended Serbia's constructive stance regarding the dialogue which, both she and her guest agreed, should start as soon as possible and without any conditions.
