September 9, 2007 (LPAC)--It was reported today that Serbia's foreign ministry has asked the U.S. for a clarification of a recent U.S. State Department statement that the U.S. would recognize the independence of Kosovo if the Security Council did not reach a consensus. Moreover, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said in a letter to the UN that Serbia "is faced with a direct threat by the United States that it will recognize the independence of Kosovo illegally."

Lyndon LaRouche stated today that the UN Security Council should reach a consensus. Any nation, which acts unilaterally rather than reaching a consensus should be thrown off the Security Council as a war-monger in violation of the UN Charter.
