Serbia will continue supporting the Serb community in northern Kosovo regardless of European Union pressure to change policy or the risk of a setback in its efforts to join the 27-nation bloc.
Serbia, which will keep striving for EU membership, refused to accept Kosovo as a sovereign state or halt its support to the Serb community that refuses to be governed by Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian government, Deputy Prime Minister Ivica Dacic said at a forum in Belgrade today. The European Commission will announce on Oct. 12 whether it recommends Serbia to become an EU candidate.
