Kosovo: Lavrov, solution in line with international law

'Respect for Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity'

23 August, 18:11
(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 23 - Russia believes that the Kosovo crisis must be resolved in accordance with international law principles and norms, specifically UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which calls for full respect for Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, said Foreign Minister Serghiei Lavrov in the yesterday's meeting in Moscow with Serbian Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin. Russia stands alongside Serbia against the independence unilaterally proclaimed by Kosovo in 2008. Moscow's position on the Kosovo issue - Lavrov noted - has not changed, and remains the one reaffirmed several times by President Vladimir Putin. (ANSA).
