After [[Republic of Kosovo|Kosovo]]'s [[2008 Kosovo declaration of independence|declaration of independence]] from [[Serbia]] was enacted on Sunday, 17 February 2008, by a unanimous vote of the [[Assembly of Kosovo]], all 11 representatives of the [[Serbia|Serb minority]] boycotted the proceedings.<ref>[http://www.assembly-kosova.org/common/docs/proc/trans_s_2008_02_17_al.pdf Transkript: Nga Seanca Plenare e Jashtëzakonshme Solemne e Kuvendit Të Kosovës Me Rastin e Shpalljes Së Pavarësisë, Të Mbajtur Më 17 Shkurt 2008] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081028212537/http://www.assembly-kosova.org/common/docs/proc/trans_s_2008_02_17_al.pdf|date=2008-10-28}}, Republic of Kosovo Assembly, 2008-02-17 (in Albanian)</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7249034.stm Kosovo MPs proclaim independence], BBC, 2008-02-17</ref> International reaction was mixed, and the world community continues to be divided on the issue of the [[international recognition of Kosovo]]. In February 2008, the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China|Chinese Foreign Ministry]] made a statement stressing that the PRC "expresses grave concern" over Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence. The Minister added that: "The resolution of the Kosovo issue bares {{sic}} on peace and stability of the Balkan region, the fundamental norms governing international relations as well as the authority and role of the UNSC. China always believes that a plan acceptable to both Serbia and Kosovo through negotiations is the best way to resolve this issue. The unilateral move taken by Kosovo will lead to a series of consequences. China is deeply worried about its severe and negative impact on peace and stability of the Balkan region and the goal of establishing a multi-ethnic society in Kosovo. China calls upon Serbia and Kosovo to continue negotiations for a proper resolution within the framework of the international law and work together to safeguard peace and stability of the Balkan region. The international community should create favorable conditions for that".<ref>[http://www.mfa.gov.cn/eng/xwfw/s2510/t408032.htm Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Liu Jianchao's Remarks on Kosovo's Unilateral Declaration of Independence], Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, 2008-02 -18</ref> |

On 23 August 2009, the presidents of Serbia and China, [[Boris Tadić]] and [[Hu Jintao]], signed a joint declaration on the establishment of strategic partnerships. In point VI this document reconfirms that China respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia. It considers that the best way to resolve the Kosovo issue is to develop a plan that would be acceptable for both sides, through dialogue and negotiations between the Government of Serbia and Kosovo authorities, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and relevant resolutions of the UNSC, within international law. The declaration says that unilateral action will not contribute to resolving this issue, and that the international community should create favourable conditions for solving it.<ref>[http://www.vreme.com/cms/view.php?id=882494 Zajednička izjava Srbije i Kine], Vreme, 2009-08-20 (in Serbian)</ref> |

In December 2009, for the first time in its history, China entered a process before the [[International Court of Justice]] (ICJ).{{citation needed|date=October 2012}} China backed the position of Serbia saying that sovereign states have a right to prevent unilateral secessions and protect their integrity.<ref>[http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=12&dd=07&nav_id=63568 China: Kosovo declaration violates intl. law] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100410153504/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=12&dd=07&nav_id=63568|date=10 April 2010}}, B92, 2009-12-07</ref> |
