Solution to Kosovo status cannot be imposed to Serbia

Belgrade, 25 September 2007

Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica stated today that a solution to the Kosovo-Metohija issue cannot be imposed to Serbia and that unilateral declaration of independence is a non-enforceable and unsustainable scenario.

In a statement to the Tanjug news agency on the eve of leaving for New York where on September 28 the delegations from Belgrade and Pristina will meet for the first time since the new stage of direct talks began, Kostunica stressed that a part of the international community is suffering from a serious delusion that a solution to the province’s status can be imposed to Serbia and that Serbia will eventually and despite the UN Charter and Serbian Constitution recognise an independent state of Kosovo on its own territory.

According to Kostunica, it is now important that all those who take a responsible attitude to resolving the province’s future status be aware that unilateral independence cannot be implemented and cannot survive.

The Prime Minister said it is necessary that all three sides, and most of all the international community, declare that they will endorse only a compromise solution and not resort to unilateral ones.

Such an agreement would open the door to reaching a compromise solution which would guarantee long-term stability, peace and prosperity of both the ethnic Albanian minority in the province and the state of Serbia, concluded Kostunica.
