Kosovo independence inevitable – DiCarlo "We see as very important the process led by the Contact Group Troika and we will continue to encourage both sides to engage until December 10. We hope the talks will yield resuilts, but we are determined that the status que cannot continue and that the process must be finalized," DiCarlo said. She added that the Kosovo status solution must be "acceptable to the people of Kosovo as well as bring stability to the region." "After the UN secretary-general receives the Troika report, a period of discussions over what the next steps will be will follow," the U.S. official explained. DiCarlo would not speculate on what the Kosovo Albanians or Washington might do after December 10, but said that her country has a good cooperating with both Belgrade and Pristina in the ongoing talks. "We are clear on the Kosovo Albanian position. State Secretary Condoleezza Rice said it clearly that Kosovo's independence is considered inevitable." "We will continue cooperation with all sides in order to arrive at a solution that will best serve regional stability," DiCarlo said.

The issue of Kosovo is very important for Europe and is one of EU's priorities," DiCarlo concluded.
