Raskovic-Ivic said that Russia has on several occasions sent clear messages that it will strongly oppose a solution which would present Kosovo as a special case.
She stressed that Russia is still constructive when it comes to seeking a solution, adding that the veto might ensue if all other Contact Group members fail to show constructiveness on their part, that is, if they wish to cut off another country's territory and dismember a sovereign state.
Raskovic-Ivic said that the proposed solution which is to be offered by UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari will not be regarded as a verdict by Serbia, but as starting basis for the continuation of talks if demanded by the international community.
If the international community decides to continue the talks and the US support this decision, ethnic Albanian leaders must also comply, concluded Raskovic-Ivic.
