Iranian deputy FM `s remarks on Kosovo misinterpreted

TEHRAN, Sept. 14(MNA) – Asked about the remarks that Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Mahdi Akhoundzadeh has recently made about Kosovo, Foreign Ministry spokesperson said during his weekly press briefing that Akhoundzadeh`s remarks have been misconstrued.

Certain media outlets recently reported that Akhoundzadeh, during a press conference in Belgrade, said that Iran does not recognize Kosovo as an independent state.

There are no diplomatic relations between Serbia and Kosovo as Serbia rejects independence declared by Kosovo authorities on February 17, 2008.

Ramin Mehmanparast stated that the Islamic republic of Iran is keeping a close eye on the developments in Kosovo and welcomes six rounds of negotiations held between Belgrade and Pristina.
