Next month's inauguration of President Elect Ivo Josipovic will be one dignitary short. Serbian President Boris Tadic announced that he would not be coming because his acceptance of the invitation would be a recognition of Kosovo as an independent state.
Kosovo's President Fatmir Sejdiu has already accepted the inauguration invitation, and Tadic says he would not be at the same event as Sejdiu. Tadic also said "Serbia is ready to take part in regional gatherings where Kosovo is represented as UNMIK-Kosovo or Kosovo-UNMIK."
Kosovo declared its independence in 2008, and Croatia is one of 65 countries to recognize that fact. However, Belgrade has begun to examine whether or not the declaration of independence is in compliance with international law.
