Serbia will intensify cooperation with those countries that have not recognized the unilaterally proclaimed independence of Kosovo in order to prevent the admission of this southern province to this international financial institution at the IMF Executive Board, Djelic announced.

In talks with IMF Directior General Dominique Strauss-Khan at the spring session of the IMF and the World Bank in Washington, DC, last week, Djelic said he had received assurances that there are no ongoing activities in the direction of the admission of Kosovo into membership of that international financial institution.
