Koštunica dubs confederation idea “nonsense”
“The Serbian government is ready to start true and essential talks on autonomy for the Albanian ethnic minority in Kosovo and Metohija, based on UN resolution 1244.”“We can arrive at a solution if we open up the issue of the position of the Albanian ethnic minority and find the best measure of autonomy for it,” Koštunica said.
According to him, all European and other countries seek solution for their ethnic minorities’ problems through various types of autonomy, so this universal rule must also apply to Kosovo Albanians.
Belgrade daily Večernje Novosti writes today that the EU could look to promote the idea of a confederation between Serbia and Kosovo.
“A confederation would represent a 'compromise' acceptable for Serbs and Albanians; the 'united' country would remain intact, the borders would not be altered in the Balkans, the word 'independence' would be avoided,” the newspaper writes.
Essentially, Kosovo would have the same status as Serbia, and the Albanians would have the right to self-determination through the constitution after a period of time and receive the right to hold a referendum on the future status of the province.
A confederation that the EU might propose in the forthcoming talks would be, according to the daily, a first stop on the way to independence and “creating a new Albanian country in the Balkans, going against the model of Serbia's stance for the essential autonomy of the province outlined by Serbia and the UN Security Council's Resolution 1244.”
