"Accepting EULEX, unofficial condition"

Litle by little Europe is gaining control of entire Kosovo.
We'll see how serious this government is when they say they will not exchange Kosovo for EU.

Sure, the wording might even say status neutral but it's practical application on the ground which is going to be important. We already know that whatever western powers sign they don't intend to honour.

How can Serbia insist of status neutral when Resolution 1244 is still in force and it clearly defines Kosovo as part of Serbia and not status neutral?
Why is Serbia accepting status neutral when they already have a signed agreement in form of res 1244 confirming their sovereingty?

If they can't or won't insist on enforcing what is already in place why enter into new agreements?

I think what status neutral means here is that EULEX should be like UNMIK which takes no stand on the status of Kosovo. Otherwise EU members like Spain and Greece would not have endorsed EULEX in Kosovo in the first place.

The question now is whether EULEX will be able to deploy itself north of the Ibar. The EU is desperate enough to get UNSC approval on this, that's why they have no choice but to negotiate with Belgrade. In case you have not noticed, the normally loud-mouthed Feith has been keeping a low profile recently -- not by his own choice I am sure!
