MADRID — Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez told her visiting Serbian counterpart Vuk Jeremi? on Wednesday that Madrid will not recognize Kosovo.
Jimenez also voiced her support for a speedy start of the announced Belgrade-Priština dialogue.
Spain is one of the five EU member-states that have chosen not to recognize the Kosovo Albanian unilateral independence declaration made three years ago.
This position will not change even after last years advisory opinion rendered by the ICJ, Jimenez told Jeremi?.
Spain’s EFE news agency reported that Kosovo dominated the agenda of the first meeting between the two ministers.
A statement after the meeting said that Jimenez commended Serbia’s constructive stance regarding the dialogue which, both she and her guest agreed, should start as soon as possible and without any conditions.
When it comes to relations between Serbia and Spain, they were described as “excellent”.
Jimenez pledged Spain’s continued support for Serbia’s EU integration bid, and the country’s attempts to become a candidate for membership.
Spain will also assist Serbia in carrying out reforms of its judiciary, legislation and in fighting corruption and organized crime, the statement said.
