Serbian President Boris Tadic became the first Serbian head of state to visit Kosovo on Sunday since the southern province became a UN protectorate at the end of the 1998-1999 war, rejecting calls for independence. In a visit aimed at shedding more light on the difficult situation faced by minority Serbs living here, Tadic ruled out as "unacceptable" independence for the mainly ethnic Albanian province.
"I am against the independence of Kosovo and for me, it is unacceptable. I will never accept such a solution," Tadic told some 2,000 Serbs gathered to greet him in the central Kosovo town Strpce.
Tadic said his trip was designed to remind the world of the plight of Serbs in Kosovo, the historic heartland of Serbian culture and religion.
