In the meeting which was also attended by head of the European Commission Delegation to Serbia Josep Lloveras, Kostunica stressed that Serbia has made big progress in reforms and noted that the Serbian government passed a National Strategy for EU Integration, which is the basis for implementation of reforms.
He recalled that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) proclaimed Serbia leader in economic growth in 2006 in Southeast Europe and that a recent EU report also saw significant progress and particularly large growth of investment in Serbia.
Kostunica stressed that Serbia strongly supports the respect of international law, whose fundamental principle is to maintain stability and territorial integrity of states, and also added that Serbia is ready to provide essential autonomy for Kosovo-Metohija being part of Serbia.
He reiterated that the Kosovo-Metohija problem must be solved with a compromise by both sides and stressed that any imposed solution is unacceptable as it could cause serious consequences not only in the region but also outside the region.
The Prime Minister said that the new Serbian Constitution, which was confirmed by a majority vote in the referendum, is clear in its preamble defining Kosovo-Metohija as integral part of Serbia.
