Evil-doers will never win, that should be my headline for this article. But let's make it catchy. Jokes and humor aside, the Kosovo Interpol bid failed for not getting the 2/3 votes necessary, which means Serbia will still get the last laugh, for all purposes.
he first round's result was 76 votes in favor, 56 against, 22 abstained.
There was a 20 minute break before the second round.
During that break, B92 has learned, "a battle for votes" was in full swing, as there was attempt to "pull out of the hall" where the voting took place the members of those delegations who voted against Kosovo, and in that way reduce the "against" votes in the second round.
RTS is reporting the second round results as follows: 68 in favor, 51 against, 16 abstained. Blic is reporting that Kosovo's representatives walked out of the room.
B92.net learned this morning that during the debate that preceded the vote, ten countries spoke in support of Serbia's opposition to Pristina's bid: Spain, Morocco, Cyprus, China, Belarus, Russia, Namibia, Venezuela, Suriname, and Romania.
A two-thirds majority was needed for Pristina's attempt to join the organization to succeed.
Pristina in the past unsuccessfully applied for membership in 2010, 2015, and 2017.
