Iako je prijave dvaju ambasada ranije odobrila vlada premijera Vojislava Koštunice, predstavnici Demokratske stranke Srbije (DSS) bili su među onih sedam koji su glasali protiv njih.
Although the two embassies' bids had earlier been approved by the government of Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, representatives of his Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) were among the seven who voted against the bids.
