MUNICH — President Boris Tadiæ yesterday finished his participation
in a security conference in Germany.

Beta news agency quoted a statement the president made on sidelines of
the Conference on Security Policy in Munich, saying that Serbia will
annul any decision proclaiming Kosovo’s independence "right away",
and that it will enter a "legal procedure against the institutions
which recognize it".

Tadiæ stressed that Serbia would also file suits against those
governments that recognize Kosovo’s independence, but he once again
excluded the possibility of Serbia’s military intervention or use of
violence in Kosovo.

"I am reiterating that recognition of Kosovo is an illegal act, and
that the law is absolutely on Serbia’s side. The stability of the
whole region is in question here, as well as long-term consequences
in other regions, since there are more ‘Kosovos’ is the world, such as
Nagorno Karabakh, South Ossetia, Abkhasia, Transnistria," Tadiæ said.

He also underlined that he expected all the countries in the region
to abstain when it comes to recognition of Kosovo’s independence.
