[-told]: reference to Resolution 1244 is of vital importance for the continuation of the negotiations aimed at resolving the Kosovo issue. Serbia has no intention of suffocating Pristina, and its participation in regional forums has never been brought into question. But the other side insisted that this implied membership and not participation, which we are not able to accept,

b92net_en 31-JAN-12

[-explained]: In the past several years, Serbia has won its place in the international community, leading a multi-dimensional policy turned toward the word. There are those who disagree with us, but there are none who disrespect Serbia. The voting will show how much support Serbia has, and I believe we will have the world's majority support. That would be a success, and confirmation that the foreign policy - which I hope will be continued after the elections, regardless who comes to power - has been the right one,

b92net_en 31-JAN-12

[-said]: In the times to come we will turn to one another and there will be an increasing need for a closer engagement within the neighborhood,

b92net_en 31-JAN-12

[-remarked]: The press in Priština reported they too could change their view. We received confirmation that they do not recognize Kosovo and have no intention of doing so. We can say that the most influential countries in Africa have stayed true to the principles of international law and respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations,

b92net_en 27-JAN-12

[-said]: False announcements

b92net_en 27-JAN-12

xinhuanet_en 29-NOV-11

[-stated]: Taking into account the crisis the EU is faced with, the issue of enlargement is not one of the top priorities of the European leaders. Nevertheless, we are doing our best to obtain good news. It is hard to predict the outcome, but I believe the dramatization of the December 9 has been artificially created in the Serbian public. The EU accession will last for years,

b92net_en 28-NOV-11

[-said]: We will continue to work on that, but at the moment it is rather hard to anticipate when that could happen,

b92net_en 28-NOV-11

[-said]: It is a long process and we should not have any ilusions it will be accelerated but the transformation of our society is in our best interest,

eubusiness 09-NOV-11

peopledaily 31-AUG-11

[ said]: The chasm of discord between the stakeholders has been widened by Pristina's unprovoked unilateralism,

xinhuanet_en 31-AUG-11

[ said]: Its actions have been all the more disappointing given the fact that we had believed the dialogue was taking place in an atmosphere of good faith, conducive to achieving compromise solutions to all outstanding issues,

xinhuanet_en 31-AUG-11

[ said]: This was the direct consequence of the calculated decision by the ethnic-Albanian secessionist leadership to order an unprovoked armed incursion into North Kosovo, part of a sinister plan to forcibly impose an illegitimate and decisively unwanted regime upon the residents of that part of the province,

xinhuanet_en 31-AUG-11

[-said]: Serbia is urging the UN Security Council to send a clear message that the military incursion is unacceptable,

trendnews 30-AUG-11

b92net_en 25-AUG-11

[-said]: With its failure to secure membership in political and international organizations, Priština felt deeply frustrated and this is one of the reasons for unilateral use of force,

b92net_en 30-JUL-11

[-said]: We want to know who ordered the unilateral act of the Rosu operation, whether someone in the international community knew about these plans, and if they did not know - why, as well as why EULEX left the territory of northern Kosovo and left Serbs,

b92net_en 30-JUL-11

b92net_en 30-JUL-11

[-stated earlier]: Some members still oppose letting Serbia address the council. We are negotiating intensively, mostly with the members who support us, but others as well, in order to resolve this problem in a positive way,

b92net_en 28-JUL-11

[-said]: According to what we have learned, there were even threats of a veto,

b92net_en 28-JUL-11

[-also said that]: We discussed the issue of cancelling visas between the two countries because I do not think there is a need for visas between Serbia and Lebanon. I think the first step will be when Mansour visits Serbia.

b92net_en 20-JUN-11

[-said]: A unilateral declaration of independence is a dramatic precedent and unless you resolutely oppose it, or if you send a signal to the world that you are ready to give up a part of your territory for some imaginary and bright future, you are practically asking for it to happen again,

b92net_en 20-JUN-11

[ added]: That implies a lack of appetite for further EU enlargement to the Western Balkan region,

b92net_en 20-JUN-11

[asserted that:]: Kosovo Albanians were unified when it comes to their own interests and efforts to make Kosovo independent, while cracks exist in Serbia's state and national interests, including its territorial integrity

b92net_en 20-JUN-11

[-told]: The question of Kosovo has enormous significance for us, first of all in the context of creating a dangerous precedent. And for that reason we cannot accept in any way unilateral declarations of independence of parts of our territory,

b92net_en 15-JUN-11

[believes that:]: stable talks

tasr 13-JUN-11

[ added]: Organized crime and its ties with the political establishment that we have as a leftover of the past are a much bigger problem.
