DEP:SERBIA-EU-KOSTUNICA SERBIA IN EU ONLY WITH KOSOVO - KOSTUNICA 16:53 BELGRADE, March 1 (Tanjug) - Serbian Premier Vojislav Kostunica told Tanjug on Saturday that "we should not be divided over the issue of joining the EU, rather, it is best and necessary to be united and tell the EU that it can only count on a Serbia with Kosovo, as its province, becoming its member."
"Instead of being divided over the issue of EU membership, it is of utmost importance that as a state and nation we clearly and in a united manner define our goal, this being that only a unified Serbia can be a member of three, for us, major international organizations: the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union," Kostunica said. He stated that the huge majority of citizens and most parliamentary parties back a unified state and national policy, according to which Kosovo and Metohija is an integral and inalienable part of this country. As a entire state, Serbia is a member of the UN and a sham state of Kosovo will absolutely never be admitted to the UN, siad Kostunica, recalling that an entire Serbia is also a OSCE member and "this is why the sham state of Kosovo will also never be in the OSCE." "In keeping with such a united state and national policy, an entire Serbia, together with Kosovo and Metohija, can be a member of the EU. We want to join the EU, but the EU should say that it wants an entire Serbia in its ranks, not a fragmented Serbia," Kostunica underscored. (end) sk/mb
