BELGRADE The EU will insist that all deals between Belgrade and Pristina should be introduced into the legal life of Serbia as a guarantee that they will be implemented. Belgrade-based Blic newspaper further says in an article published today that "in the end, for that to happen, it will be necessary to change the Constitution, but until then jurisdictions of the state could be transferred to the community of Serb municipalities through changes to the Constitutional Law." "EU wants deals introduced into legal system" Amendments to the Constitutional Law require a two-third majority in the Serbian parliament - "which is not impossible to achieve when it comes to solving the Kosovo problem, and is far more feasible than constitutional changes that require a certificate of citizens in a referendum." "New agreements could theoretically be implemented through regulations," says for Borislav Stefanovic, the former head of the negotiating team, and MP of the now opposition DS party. He stated that the negotiations are now trying to reach an agreement which would regulate powers of the community of Serb municipalities, "which are no longer technical issues that can be regulated by decrees." Previous agreements on the control of the administrative line, registers, cadastre and recognition of university diplomas are regulated by the Serbian government. Another opposition party, the DSS, last October petitioned the Constitutional Court to examine the legality of these. "We have seen that the current government continues the previous work and the DSS considers it devastating," party officials have been quoted. According to the daily's source, "it is now important to reach an agreement, and then it will not be that difficult to find a form for its implementation." Lawyers consider amending the Constitution sensible if the goal is to change the functional and territorial organization of the country. "The Constitution should be changed, but not because of Kosovo and the EU, but in order to have a more functional system because there are many conflicting constitutional provisions," Blic quoted professor of constitutional law Vladan Petrov.
