Negotiating team prepares comparative presentation of Serbia's model of autonomy for Kosovo and example of Hong Kong
Belgrade,
6 November 2007
Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said today that for the next meeting of delegations of Belgrade and Pristina which will take place on November 20 in Brussels, the Serbian state negotiating team will prepare a proposal with the comparative presentation of Serbia's model of substantial autonomy for Kosovo-Metohija and the example of Hong Kong.
Kostunica told Tanjug news agency that at the meeting in Brussels it must be determined which solution secures stability, sustainability, functionality and prosperity so that a compromise solution could be reached.
With a comparative presentation of our model of substantial autonomy and the solution for the status of Hong Kong based on agreement within China, we will show to Brussels that the highest level of autonomy for the province of Kosovo-Metohija is concrete, realistic and the best solution, the Serbian Prime Minister underlined.
We are convinced that during the next talks in Brussels we will offer strong arguments and evidence that that is the road that can lead us to an agreement, Kostunica stressed and added that the most important thing is that such an agreement would be in full conformity with the UN Charter and the Serbian Constitution.
We see a solution based on agreement as a way for fulfilling essential interests of Serbia and essential interests of the Albanian national minority in Kosovo-Metohija. The talks in which parallels between the proposal of substantial autonomy for Kosovo and the solution for Hong Kong would be examined can show that that is possible, the Serbian Prime Minister concluded.
