Prague: The Czech Republic vice premier Petr Necas last night stated that Prague will not consider recognizing Kosovo Albanians’ unilaterally declared independence for at least another month.

The decision to postpone the discussion on the issue was made earlier this month, amid disagreement within the cabinet.

On the Czech state broadcaster, Necas said, “When this will be on the agenda again is primarily up to the prime minister. My estimate is that is certainly will not happen in the next month.”

The Czech Republic vice premier said that the Czech position is greatly influenced by the respect of human and minority rights, rule of law, and protection of religious and cultural monuments in the province. He added that his position on the issue is that Kosovo is a “gross mistake” of the international community.

Necas said, “The EU and NATO neither thought it through, nor carried it out well.”

Meanwhile, the Czech diplomat and former UN special rapporteur for human rights Jiri Dienstbier yesterday said that “Serbs are not alone in Europe. Serbs can rely on a high degree of solidarity, regardless of the defeatism or the indifference of most governments.” “It is not Serbia that is in isolation, but rather Kosovo is a pseudo state.” he said.
