Kostunica and Tadic in Vienna on July 24
Belgrade,
21 July 2006
Director of the Serbian government's Office of Media Relations Srdjan Djuric said today that Serbian President Boris Tadic and Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica will participate in the first round of talks on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija that will be held in Vienna on July 24.
Djuric said that every following round of the status talks will be attended by either the Serbian president or the prime minister.
Since the question of Kosovo-Metohija is of the utmost importance for Serbia because it involves 15% of its territory, and precisely that part of the territory which is the cradle of the Serbian state, the main negotiators decided that the first round of talks on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija should be attended by both Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and Serbian President Boris Tadic, Djuric said.
Serbia has requested direct talks with representatives of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo-Metohija because we believe that direct talks are the best solution for reaching a compromise, the Director of the Office of Media Relations pointed out.
He added that Belgrade is confident that Marti Ahtisaari, as a representative of the United Nations in charge for the negotiations on Kosovo, will enable that the upcoming talks be constructive and result in a solution based on compromise.
