MOSCOW, Thursday, March 18, 2021 (WAFA) - Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said today that her country believes that Kosovo has not had the right to open any diplomatic mission in Jerusalem.

She said the step was "contrary to UN Security Council Resolution 1244, according to which Kosovo's right to have special diplomatic relations with other countries has not yet been regulated."

"We would like to emphasize once again our principled position on Jerusalem: the city should be the capital of the two independent states of Palestine and Israel, open to the believers of the three monotheistic religions," Zakharova said.
