Serbia: Necessary agreement with Albania for Kosovo

Serbia wants the historic compromise on the issue of Kosovo, said Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Ivica Dacic.

Speaking to journalists during an event for 200 years since the founding of the Serbian police officer, Ivica Dacic stated that " reaching a historic agreement between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo is necessary in order to avoid an issue, together with that of cooperation with the Hague Tribunal, subject to continuous extortion of Serbia. "


Mr. Dacic also said that many countries on the ratification of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement by parliaments set various conditions. "Some countries link the issue with the estate of the former Yugoslavia territory others the fate of their investments in Serbia and some seek recognition on the part of Belgrade, Kosovo's independence," said the vice president of Serbian government , Ivica Dacic.

He added, however, that a common position which makes it a necessary condition for Serbia's accession to the EU recognition of Kosovo is not there and that's because five member states are inconsistent with the independence of the region.
