Russia, Saint-Petersburg / Òrend corr R. Aghayev / Speaking on the
behalf of the respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty of
any country we mean all countries including Azerbaijan, Serbian
Prime Minister, Voislav Koshtunitsa , said at a press conference
within the framework of an international economic forum held in
Saint-Petersburg. He commented on the position of Serbia regarding
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
"I often compare the situation with the fact that the constitution
of every country guarantees and provides integrity for every
citizen residing in that country. In this case, the UN Charter is
a world constitution intended to protect territorial integrity and
Inviolability of Borders of any state. One of the most senseless
positions is the one urging that the matter regarding Kosovo can
be resolved in such a way which is not threatening to other parts
of the globe. If the integrity of Serbia is to be respected, then
the integrity of all countries is to be respected in the same way,"
the Prime Minister stated.
Koshtunitsa voiced his confidence that if the integrity of Serbia is
not respected, a series of conflict issues will arise in different
parts of the world. Hence, the map of the world can profoundly
change. "If international law and internationally accepted norms
are violated, then there are no civilized ways for settling the
Kosovo conflict. The only way is to provide autonomy of a high level,
which will prevent Belgrade from being condemned of interfering into
internal affairs of Kosovo. Belgrade is interested in the protection
of rights of the Serbians residing in Kosovo and Metohia , returning
of refugees to their lands, preservation of historical, cultural,
and religious monuments. But that absolutely does not mean that
Belgrade will interfere into the internal structure of Kosovo. At the
same time the territorial integrity of Serbia should be respected,"
the Prime Minister said.
