President Boris Tadic is meeting in Brussels with EU with High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton on Tuesday. The talks would be an opportunity, following many days of diplomatic contact at various levels, for finding a compromise on Serbia’s Kosovo resolution, which it has submitted to the UN General Assembly, that would not cross Belgrade's "red line"—recognizing Kosovo's independence. President to meet with EU senior official However, the goal is for the resolution to also satisfy the big powers of the world who support Kosovo independence. Unofficially, the countries that have recognized Kosovo's independence have objections to the text of the resolution on Kosovo that Serbia has submitted, which should be discussed on September 9 in New York. Tadic reiterated earlier Serbia's readiness to cooperate with the European Union in seeking a compromise, but also emphasized that Serbia would not accept a document that would be detrimental to its national interests. Serbia wants to resolve the Kosovo issue in coordination with its European partners, he said. He, however, stressed that the only possible compromise, following the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legality of Kosovo's unilaterally declared independence, would be one that would respect the interests of both Serbia and the big powers. Serbia, he emphasized several times, would never recognize Kosovo's independence. Whether the text of the resolution on Kosovo would remain unchanged until the UN GA session or whether Belgrade and Brussels would offer a new compromise version should be clearer by the end of the day.
