Additionally, he stressed that the 1999 UN Resolution 1244 called for the mutual agreement of all parties to solve the dispute.

He said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.

[3][4] Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremić visited Argentina in 2008, and agreed with Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, on a series of joint steps within international multilateral institutions related to Serbia's diplomatic approach to Kosovo.

Argentina supported the initiative of Serbia within the UN General Assembly to ask the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of recognising Kosovo's unilateral independence and actively advocated that this initiative is supported by Latin America countries and within the Non-Aligned Movement and Mercosur.
