Reaction to Kosovo's participation

After the breakup of Yugoslavia, only Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija participated as part of Serbia and Montenegro and Serbia at the Olympics. On February 17, 2008 Kosovo's Parliament declared independence from Serbia, but Serbia doesn't recognize it and considers it its southern province.[22] On December 9, 2014 the International Olympic Committee recognized the Olympic Committee of Kosovo despite it not being a member or observer state of the United Nations, and therefore Kosovo is expected to participate at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[23] In reaction to the decision of the International Olympic Committee to accept Kosovo as a full member, Vlade Divac said that the Serbian Olympic Committee did all they could, while foreign minister Ivica Dačić and minister of sports Vanja Udovičić expressed their protest, but said there would be no boycott of the games or any protests.[24][25]
