"No implicit or explicit recognition of Kosovo"

"In that process, we do not want to do anything that could harm the (ethnic) Albanian population, but rather want to find solutions that would bring peace and stability to the entire region. How can you trust your neighbour/or someone living next to you when you do not recognise him? Doesnt add up Mr President.

I'm sure nobody opposes to recognize Albanians living in Kosovo next to Serbia. The recognition of an unilaterally self-declared state of Kosovo is a totally different thing. Adds up fine, Mr. EA.

Broken record statements with no realistic outcome.

As opposed to what? A bilaterally joint-declared state? Montenegro and South Sudan are also unilaterally self declared states, why has Serbia recognised them and not Kosovo?

Well, the peace agreement in Sudan (between South and North) included a possible referendum in South Sudan about an independence. UN1244 (comparable to a peace agreement), on the other hand, didn't include any agreed referendum for a separation. So I don't consider the South Sudan split an unilateral one. And I'm sure, a referendum in Kosovo wouldn't have had a 99% result for a separation (in case the Serbs would have participated, of course).

Tadic is history.

No recognition, no EU, why speak to the territorial integrity of Serbia and Kosovo, whose surfaces have not and would not have ever.

Me thinks Mr Tadic protests too much.

Tadic is very complex, either he is a total sellout to the Serbian people or he is a brilliant manipulator of the issue and of Brussels. I am starting to believe that he is not a sellout, but a master chess player. He understands well that UNSC Resolution 1244, established and passed unanimously with one abstention, clearly holds Kosovo as an autonomous region of Serbia: it preserves Serbia's territorial integrity. As long as Serbia does not recognize Kosovo, which Tadic has said on many occasions that it never will, as a matter of law, Kosovo cannot be a legitimate nation. The recognitions are by definition, outlaw recognitions. UNSC 1244 is law, and Brussels' attempts at bribery of supposed membership, one day, for Serbia is proof of their problem. I'm starting to suspect that Tadic may realize that 1244 is the ultimate card that Brussels can't get around.

These comments of tadic mean nothing. He has already accepted Kosovo independence. He accepted it in in september of last year! Where is any Serb protest of Kosovo independence. Why didn't SERBIA do anything about the border posts? Why was it up to Kosovo Serbs to burn them down?
