Bogdanovic told daily Politika that Serbia would modify its negotiation approach depending on the format of the talks.
The
joint Resolution by Serbia and the EU on the advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has just been adopted by the UN and it would not be serious to make estimates now. There is a usual sequence of activities and preparatory procedures for such important events, outlined Bogdanovic.
Bogdanovic stressed that it is important that the Resolution has opened the doors for such dialogue, and it also does not provide any excuses for the Kosovo Albanians to avoid negotiation.
We have always pledged for dialogue on all outstanding issues, with the status and improvement of living conditions for the Kosovo Serbs being the most important ones, pointed out Bogdanovic, adding that dialogue is the only way to reduce tension and to find a lasting and mutually acceptable solution.
He confirmed that the EU will have a central role in future dialogue, but that without the experience and influence of the UN, Russia and the United States, it is difficult to imagine a stable running of the already complicated and complex process of negotiations between the two sides.
