Vuk Jeremic at EP following Kosovo’s independence declaration:

Serbia's Foreign Minister, Vuk Jeremic, speaking on the 20 February 2008 at the European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee in Strasbourg, revealed his mixed feelings of pride as well as shame as a European, following the recognition of Kosovo's independence by several EU Member States. MEPs quizzed him about Serbia's 'European destiny'" and whether Belgrade might resort to violence against Pristina.
