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 Serbias
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 Kosovos 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 Kosovos
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)
