Re: What would Serbia sacrifice for Kosovo?
The only thing that Serbia must "sacrifice" for Kosovo is Serbia's foreign
minister Vuk Jeremiæ. In fact Jeremic must be replaced as soon as possible!!

What would Serbia sacrifice for Kosovo?
02 Aug 2007 bbj.hu Vuk Jeremiæ said Serbia is willing to sacrifice
certain characteristics of sovereignty for the sake of Kosovo. UN chief
welcomes initiative by Kosovo Contact Group for new talks.
The Serbian Foreign Minister said that Belgrade is prepared to offer
Kosovo a wide autonomy, in an effort to find a solution for the future
status of Kosovo. “Serbia is prepared to consider the possibility of letting
go of several characteristics of sovereignty. In that way, Kosovo would be
able to have access to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund and
other international financial institutions. We are ready to give up a lot,
but they have to be ready to give up some things as well,” Jeremiæ told BBC.
“We arrive at the negotiations through the principled support of Russia,
rather, its principled support of the norms of international law. At the
same time, no one should suspect that there is a strategic orientation for
Serbia’s EU membership,” Jeremiæ said. (b92.net)
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon on Wednesday welcomed an initiative by
the Contact Group on Kosovo to mediate new talks between Serbia and its
breakaway province of Kosovo. Ban said in a statement that he had been
briefed by the Contact Group of its agreement to have a Troika comprising
representatives of the European Union, the Russian Federation and the United
States mediate further negotiations. “I welcome this initiative by the
Contact Group. I hope that the new period of engagement will lead to
agreement on Kosovo’s future status, which remains a priority for the United
Nations,” Ban said. “The international community must find a solution that
is timely, addresses the key concerns of all communities living in Kosovo
and provides clarity for Kosovo’s status. The status quo is not
sustainable,” he added. The secretary-general promised that the world body
will continue to play a constructive role in the new period of engagement
and continue its major role on the
ground in Kosovo. (people.com.cn)
