The daily adds that Ischinger told Sejdiu the British newspaper had "misinterpreted his words and had thereupon brought a wrong conclusion." However, the report today does not bring into question the authenticity of the diplomat's quoted remarks. Among other things, Ischinger was quoted as saying that it was time to get away from "labels" in order to achieve a "realistic" solution for Kosovo. "The label is worth nothing. Where are they going to get their income from? They would continue to rely on foreign aid," he said, speaking of the province. “I would leave open independence. I would rather talk about a strong supervised status,” Ischinger said in the controversial interview <http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2007&mm=09&dd=18&nav_category=92&nav_id=43837>.
