“Govt. in secret NATO membership talks” 

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA: Opposition DSS leader Vojislav Kostunica says the current 
Serbian government is “secretly negotiating with NATO officials”.

The subject of these talks, according to Kostunica, who spoke in Kosovska 
Mitrovica on Sunday, is Serbia's membership in the western military alliance.

Kostunica stated that all this came despite a parliamentary resolution passed 
in 2007, which declared Serbia a militarily neutral country. 

He said that the last year's NATO Summit supported the Serbian government's 
commitment to becoming a NATO member state, adding that the NATO 
secretary-general had recently stated that “he would do his best in order for 
Serbia to join NATO, talking the approach of one step at a time, as the Serbian 
side requested”. 

Kostunica also urged the government to call early parliamentary elections in 
the country, expressing doubt that it can govern efficiently with a majority of 
126 MPs. 

Apart from Kostunica, other DSS party members also spoke at the panel 
discussion in the northern Kosovo town, which came ahead of early local 
elections, scheduled for next week in the municipalities of Kosovska Mitrovica 
and Novo Brdo. 

Before the gathering in Kosovska Mitrovica, a session of the DSS main board was 
held in the northern town of Zvecan.
