🇷🇸 Serbia has rejected a peaceful settlement plan on Kosovo and Metohija proposed by France and Germany as it implies that the breakaway province will become a UN member without a formal recognition by Belgrade, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said on Sunday.

🗣 "Its starting point is that the independence of Kosovo is already a done deal, but we do not accept that," Dacic told a Serbian newspaper.

▪️ The initiative suggested that Belgrade would get a fast-track to EU membership in exchange for Kosovo's accession to the UN, the report said.

💬 "The conclusion of National Security Council is that this proposal is unacceptable for us and we all voted 'yes' for this conclusion… And while recognizing it or not in a formal sense, agreeing that Kosovo is a member of the UN is very difficult for us," the foreign minister said.
