“U.S. may postpone Kosovo settlement”

“The U.S. Administration has set a deadline to decide this week whether to continue to push the draft Kosovo resolution, and the UN Security Council vote on the same, or to postpone the settlement process,” he said.

According to Kesić, a lot would depend on the upcoming meeting of U.S. President George Bush and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin at the G8 summit due to begin on June 6 in Rostock, Germany.

“The expectations that the meeting might bring about a change in their positions have been scaled down to a minimum. It would then be up to Washington to decide on the future moves regarding Kosovo, as it can choose to push the resolution or try to find room for compromise,” he said.
“In my opinion, chances for a compromise are slim. Russia and the U.S. will probably reevaluate their overall relations, not only with respect to Kosovo but to much more important issues relevant to them, and then decide on the manner of their future co-operation,” Kesić went on to explain.

He also said that if the swift adoption of a new Kosovo resolution remained the American choice, the UN vote would ensue after June 10.

“However, I believe the U.S. will decide to put off the vote, hoping the situation may change if more time was given to talks with Russia, trying to reach a kind of a compromise over the resolution’s content,” Kesić concluded.
