Shortly after Kosovo declared independence on February 17th, Serbia's economic minister, Mladjan Dinkic, declared that the Serbian government would cease to pay Kosovo's foreign debt of over $1 billion. However, as of this morning it has come to their attention that this goes against the Serbian nullification of Kosovo's indepedence.
Despite having lost much of their control over the province in 1999, Serbia continued to pay of Kosovo's debt at a rate of $150 million each year. And if Kosovo is still part of Serbia according to the Serbian government, why stop now? This decision is also seen as a political move to maintain Serbia's claim on the breakaway region.
