Serbia: US Must Renounce Kosovo

02/25/2008

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - Serbia's prime minister wants the United States to renounce its recognition of Kosovo's independence.

Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica says this would restore stability in the Balkans. His remarks appear in Belgrade newspapers Monday.

The U.S. and some European countries quickly recognized Kosovo's declaration earlier this month. But Serbia opposes Kosovo's independence and says it should remain part of Serbia.

Kostunica says the Americans should "annul" their recognition of Kosovo.
