Russia believes that Serbia’s position against Kosovo’s admission to UNESCO is lawful and righteous and supports Serbia in what it deems necessary for protection of its national interests, Chepurin told Tanjug.
Russia starts from the fact that, according to Resolution 1244, Kosovo is not an independent state, which is a binding legal basis for regulating the Kosovo issue, he pointed out.
The ambassador also said that the situation in Kosovo is far from stable, and that Serbia’s cultural, historical and religious monuments have been systematically destroyed.
