Serb Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica warned the
European Union on Tuesday that sending a supervisory mission to
the breakaway province of Kosovo could damage relations with Serbia.
"Anyone who wants Serbia as a partner has to know Serbia
will accept partnership only as a whole country, not as a country
cut in two," Kostunica said in a statement.
Serbia "emphatically rejects in advance an unlawful decision
on the arrival of an EU mission" and "expects the EU
to respect its stance that a EU mission cannot come to its territory,
Kosovo, without a new Security Council resolution," he said.
The EU is preparing to deploy a 1,600-strong police and justice
mission to Kosovo. Western officials are concerned the mainly
Serb north of the province will reject their presence.

Serb rhetoric hardened in the run-up to a December 10 deadline
for a negotiated deal on Kosovo's fate. Mediators reported no
room for compromise between Serbia's offer of autonomy and the
Kosovo Albanian majority's demand of independence.
