While addressing students of the Moscow State School for International Relations (MGIMO), he pointed out that the right to self-determination belongs to peoples, not to minorities.

Reminding that Slovakia has not recognized Kosovo's independence, Lajcak said that Bratislava still holds the position that in resolving the Kosovo status the principle was violated by which the separation of its territory should be agreed upon by a state concerned, which is Serbia in this situation, as it was the case with the separation of Montenegro.
