Pristina's unilateral actions not conducive to settlement of Kosovo issue - Chinese MFA

BEIJING - A spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday Pristina's unilateral actions were not conducive to a settlement of the Kosovo-Metohija issue and added that the territorial integrity of Serbia should be respected in the process of finding a solution.

"China believes that any unilateral actions are not conducive to the settlement of the Kosovo issue as well as regional peace and stability. We support relevant parties concerned in working with each other within the framework of the relevant Security Council resolution to reach a mutually acceptable political solution through dialogue," Wang Wenbin said at a regular press briefing in Beijing, in a comment on Pristina's decision to ban the Serbian dinar in Kosovo-Metohija.

"In this process, Serbia’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity should be fully respected, and the rights to subsistence and development of all ethnic groups in Kosovo should be guaranteed," the website of the Chinese MFA quoted Wang as saying.
