“They (West. -

) know that talking about legal precedent is not naive.
They say they wanted to prevent genocide, Putin also says that he wanted to prevent genocide, the argument is not weak.
But the entire West will now demand that Serbia immediately recognize Kosovo in order to prove to Putin that this is not the same thing and is not a precedent, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
According to the head of state, Serbia will soon be under incredible pressure so that the West can get evidence that "Kosovo is a different case."
“All European leaders told me that Putin, in conversations with them, pointed to the case of Kosovo,” the Serbian leader said.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with UN Secretary General António Guterres, recalled the decision of the international court on the situation in Kosovo, which was supported by the international community.
The Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics became independent by analogy with this decision, the head of the Russian state emphasized.
