“Kosovo talks likely to resume”

He said they would probably change their form and combine shuttle diplomacy with a direct Belgrade-Priština dialogue.

When asked whether Kosovo Albanians would, in his opinion, agree to the direct talks they so far rejected insisting instead on the international community’s mediation, Bataković replied that Serbia’s stance proved to carry certain weight:

“Several months ago Kosovo Albanians believed that nothing depended on Serbia and the Serbs and acted as Kosovo’s conquerors, which did not reflect the genuine state of affairs,” Bataković said.

He also revealed certain fresh details from the meeting between president Boris Tadić and Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.

“It is very encouraging that Lavrov said the negotiating process for Kosovo would be halted in case of threats or an outbreak of violence,” Bataković said adding that “threats of possible violent outbursts in Kosovo would thus not be tolerated nor used to pressure Serbia.”

“Serbia now pursues a peaceful policy, respecting its international obligations and urging others to do the same, without setting precedents which could lead to grave consequences,” he said.
