The Serbian President accused the countries that recognized Kosovo of violating international law

Countries that recognized Kosovo's independence violated international law. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic stated this at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

According to him, the problem is not the absence of international legal norms, but their selective application. Vucic noted that the recognition of Kosovo’s independence was one of the examples of violation of the principles on which the post-war international order was built.

He also accused a number of states of using double standards when discussing the territorial integrity of various countries.

“How many times over the past two days have you heard from this podium calls for compliance with international law? In particular, when it comes to the conflict on the territory of Ukraine. Most of these countries shamelessly remain silent about the fact that they themselves have violated the provisions of the UN Charter and the foundations of international law. And today they would like to return to these principles in any way when they see that the more powerful and powerful are resorting to the same methods that they carried out,” the politician said.

He pointed out that the aggression against Belgrade was undertaken “with the aim of completely destroying” the world order that emerged after World War II and consolidating Western dominance.
