BELGRADE -- Vojislav Koštunica says "Kosovo has no price" and that Serbia won’t approve its independence by signing an agreement with the EU.
"With its decision to send a mission to implement Kosovo’s unilateral independence, the EU has twisted United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 which explicitly guarantees respect for Serbia’s territorial integrity," the prime minister said in a statement for the Tanjug news agency.
Koštunica said that, in so doing, the EU was grossly violating the UN Charter and was re-tailoring Serbia’s internationally recognized borders by sending a mission.
"Certainly it would suit the EU most if Serbia, in the form of some sort of signed agreement, gave its approval for the biggest legal violation of a country’s borders since the UN was founded, the body that guarantees all states the inviolability of their borders," he warned .
"Serbia will not give such a signature for Kosovo’s independence," Koštunica underlined.
"Under strong outside pressure from the U.S., Europe is, in the case of Serbia, trampling the fundamental principles on which it rests. Therefore, Serbia is not against Europe, but Europe has, unfortunately, against its own principles, yielded before a policy of force," the prime minister said.
“At the same time, representatives of ethnic Albanian separatists in the interim institutions, who have in fact been condemned to long-term prison sentences by the state of Serbia for terrorism, are announcing the declaration of Kosovo’s unilateral independence under EU and U.S. auspices,” he continued.
"However, everyone must know that this fabricated state will never exist as far as Serbia is concerned, and that Kosovo will always be Serbia. Kosovo has no price and Serbia will not accept any offers of compensation," Koštunica said.
This is not the first time that Serbia has been robbed by force, he pointed out. "This is a time of force, but Serbia’s historical experience says that the time of law and justice always has its day," the prime minister concluded.
Amen!
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Appropriate quote, since Manuel II Palelologus was 39 years old the last time murderous Islamists stole Kosovo. But back then, they didn't have "US assistance"!

Which administation first sent American troops into the Balkans for a 12 month peace keeping deployment? When did they come home?
Which administration authorized American aircraft to fly missions in support of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia into submission?
Which administration sent American peacekeeping forces into Kosovo? Did they keep the peace? When did they come home?
The news media keep acting surprised because Kostunica was supposed to be a “friend to Europe.”
Serbia is a friend to Europe, but regretably Europe has not been a friend to Serbia.
They were betrayed after the Second World War by Roosevelt and Churchill, they were betrayed by clinton, Blair, and Schroeder, and now the EU is eager to betray them again. And it’s not even in their own interest to do so.

Yes indeed, under the benign gaze of the Albanian Mohammedan loving George Bush who is positively giddy at the prospect of being godfather to a KLA terror statelet in the Balkans. But that’s a Republican trait. Dole was a stooge of the Albanian Mohammedans and McCain has been on the KLA’s payroll for years.
Back during the Clinton years, a libertarian friend told me that it would have been cheaper to buy Kosovo.
