State negotiating team constructively partake in Kosovo status talks
Belgrade,
8 March 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today in a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jaap De Hoop Scheffer that the Serbian state negotiating team took part constructively in the Kosovo status talks.
Kostunica stressed that the Serbian delegation advocated positions set forth in the Resolution passed by Serbian parliament, according to which proposals from Martti Ahtisaari’s plan violating Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are rejected.
The Prime Minister stressed that Ahtisaari’s mandate was to find a compromise for the future status of Kosovo-Metohija, and not to question the state status of Serbia and suggest seizure of 15% of its territory.
He also said that it is possible to come up with a compromise if international law and the UN Charter are respected as they guarantee sovereignty and territorial integrity, whereas the solution would be substantial autonomy within Serbia’s internationally recognised borders.
Kostunica said that Serbia strongly advocates for respect of international law and keeping stability in the region, noting that many European countries are now also pointing to that.
Scheffer said that NATO supports the process guided by UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari.
