In his latest press conference, President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci said the
agreement with Serbia cannot be achieved without compromise and this can
only be done through border correction.

"Agreement will be reached if parties make a compromise. There are those who
say Serbia should recognize Kosovo and I agree with this but I have to be
direct in the most honest way possible and state Serbia is doing no such
thing presently," Thaci said adding: "Some might say Russia will revoke
right to veto on Kosovo at the Security Council. This is also not happening
despite the utmost efforts of all our partners. I see no hope this happening
without an agreement and this is why I have proposed border correction. I
have argued that agreement would result in recognition from Serbia and
unification of Presheva, Medvegja, and Bujanoc with Kosovo."

He said the progress Kosovo has made so far has been achieved with the help
of its partners but said this was not enough. 

"We are all aware that Kosovo's full and long-term stability is unavoidably
linked to Kosovo's membership as a country in the UN, NATO, and EU. Kosovo
will be a sustainable country only by being a member state in UN, NATO, and
EU," he added.

Thaci further called on all political parties to join the dialogue with
Serbia. "I am here to once again call on all political spectrum, the civil
society, media, to work together to close the process of talks within a
short period of time by creating conditions for signing agreement that would
enable full normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia and open
European perspective for Kosovo and Serbia," he underlined.
