New proposal of Martti Ahtisaari not acceptable for Serbia

Belgrade, 8 March 2007

The Serbian state negotiating team for the talks on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija stated today that the new proposal of UN Special Envoy Martti Ahtisaari, submitted yesterday, is not acceptable for Serbia because not a single amendment proposed by Belgrade referring to the preservation of Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity has been accepted.

Today's meeting of the state negotiating team, chaired by Serbian Prime Minister and the team's co-president Vojislav Kostunica, was attended by Serbian President and the team's co-president Boris Tadic, Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Draskovic and the team's members.

The team members concluded that in Ahtisaari's new proposal there are no essential changes in relation to the first version of the proposal that violates the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia. There are also no other solutions that accept the completely justified positions of Serbia on other issues that were negotiated in Vienna.

The report on talks conducted in Vienna from February 21 to March 3, 2007 was adopted at the meeting.

The delegation for the negotiations scheduled for March 10, 2007 has been chosen. The delegation will be headed by Serbian President and Serbian Prime Minister - Boris Tadic and Vojislav Kostunica, and they will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Vuk Draskovic and members of the state team.
