"No aid will be given to Serbia by IMF without recognition of Kosovo first" informs the paper quoting a high IMF official regarding the decision.

Serbia is at the brink of total state bankruptcy due to the global economical crises and it is in desperate need for financial aid, says the paper.

Only after the recognition of Kosovo, Serbia can count on the money of International Monetary Fund, reveals the German daily, Die Tageszeitung.

These "news" are plainly wrong. The IMF didnt and wouldnt put up such a precondition for a loan. New Kosova Report just lost all respect I had for them.

it's a sad day when democratic nations must resort to blackmail and bribery to get other nations to do what they want. its become very clear that wealth and morality do not imply one another, much like the wealthy nations like to claim.
