Countries of EU Regional Partnership support resumption of Kosovo-Metohija status talks
Bratislava,
3 July 2007
Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremic said today in Bratislava that countries of EU Regional Partnership support the position that when decision on the future status of Kosovo-Metohija, a unilateral solution should be avoided.
Jeremic told news agency Beta that he presented the EU Regional Partnership, in which he was invited as a guest, and the position of Belgrade that this moment calls for new negotiations as the only alternative to new negotiations is to ignore the UN Security Council.
He told the foreign ministers of Hungary, Slovakia, Poland the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovenia that such ignoring would be a dangerous precedent not only for the Western Balkans but for other crisis areas in the world. Before the meeting of the Regional Partnership, the Serbian Foreign Minister held separate meetings with Slovak Foreign Minister Jan Kubis, Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic and Prime Minister Robert Fico.
I think that Slovakia endorses the opinion that a solution should be found within the UN Security Council, and since it is not possible to find one without more talks, it is necessary to continue searching for a compromising solution that will be acceptable for both sides, Jeremic said.
Slovak President Ivan Gasparovic told Jeremic that the solution for Kosovo status should be in line with international law and acceptable both for Serbs and ethnic Albanians.
Gasparovic told Jeremic that with its declaration, Slovak parliament gave a signal to the European Union that that issue should be resolved in line with international law and international agreements.
