"I am excited to be in Kosovo so I can make sure myself to what extent the
projects supported by Britain help the development of the Kosovo Protection
Corpus (KPC) and to what extent they help KPC facilitate the transformation
and improvement of living conditions for all ethnic communities in Kosovo,"
Adam Ingram (British Minister of State for the Armed Forces)

Serbia tells US envoy autonomy best solution for Kosovo
17/04/2006
(Belgrade, DTT-NET.COM)-Serbian government has rejected the independence for
Kosovo and has told US special envoy that a substancial autonomy for UN
admnistrated territory is the best solution and authorities are to table
more detailes of the proposal in coming days.
The head of Serbia government Vojislav Kostunica told Frank Wiesner on
Monday (the special US envoy for talks on the futur of Kosovo) that Kosovo
problem must be resolved in "accordance with international law and modern
democratic principles and UN documents, especially the 1244 resolution" of
Security Council, Serbian government said in its website.
Kostunica has told Wiesner that a "substancial autonomy for Kosovo inside
Serbia guaranties such a solution" and that soon Serbian authorities are to
detail their offer to Ethnic Albanians.
Wiesner has called on Serbian authorities to alow Serbian minority
participate fully in institutions of Kosovo and also to engage more
constructively in UN mediated talks on self-rule powers for minorities.
"Ambassador Wisner will focus on strengthening relationships with Serbia's
leaders and will urge them to play a constructive role in the ongoing
negotiations to ensure a peaceful, democratic Kosovo that protects the
rights of all its residents." US embassy in Belgrade wrote in its website
before the meeting of the envoy with highest Serbian officials.
Serbian government has been criticised by western powers in recent days for
inciting the boycott of Kosovo institutions by majority of Serb
representatives and in several municipalities also refusing their salaries
from public administration.
Wisner, who visited Kosovo during the weekend, has asked the Serb minority
political representatives to join the Kosovo institutions expressing his
disagreement with Belgrade's call to Serbs employed in the health and
education sector in Kosovo to refuse salaries from the Kosovo budget.
Kosovo is officially part of Serbia and Montenegro union and is being ruled
by UN since the war ended in June 1999. Ethnic Albanians, who represent
around 90 percent of 2 million population insist on independence but Kosovo
Serbs and Serbia refuse it.
In May Kosovo and Serbia negotiators are to meet for the fourth time at UN
mediated talks in attempt to find a deal for Serbian minority rights, but
both sides remain divided on the issue.
Serbian government wants to have a direct role and relation with current and
new municipalities for Kosovo Serbs to be created, but Ethnic Albanian
leadership says that any political and financial relation of Belgrade with
Serb majority municipalities must be made in cooperation and through central
institutions of Kosovo.
Major international powers from Contact Group for Kosovo (EU, Russia and US)
have said that solution must be acceptable for Kosovo people.
UN envoy Martti Ahtissari has said last week in Brussels that talks on the
status are to take place after the current ongoing talks on minorities in
Austrian capital of Vienna.
