Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic stressed here on Monday that his country will never recognize Kosovo as an independent country.
"We will employ all diplomatic and political means at our disposal to hinder, obstruct and ultimately reverse the unilateral, illegal and illegitimate declaration of independence of our southern province," Jeremic told a regular session of the UN Human Rights Council.
He added that this was not temporary policy, but part of a national strategy to keep Serbia whole and free, and fully integrated into Europe.
Jeremic also condemned those countries that recognized Kosovo's "illegal and illegitimate declaration of independence."
As a result of the recognition, the innate operating logic of the international system had come under direct attack, he said.
This legitimized the doctrine of imposing solutions to ethnic conflicts, the act of unilateral secession by a provincial or other non state actor, and the forced partition of internationally recognized, sovereign states, he stressed.
Jeremic urged countries that had recognized Kosovo to reconsider their positions. He also called on those that had not recognized Kosovo to stay on the course and to help Serbia defend the international system.
