"UNMIK, Belgrade, in confidential meeting" The daily is quoting unnamed diplomatic sources as saying that the "confidential meeting, held on April 16 in Belgrade", mentioned six possible areas of cooperation "in the near future". Those reportedly include the province's judiciary, police, customs, healthcare, railways and transportation. The sources also said that the UN Peacekeeping Operations Department initiated the meeting, and authorities UNMIK's Belgrade office to conduct the talks. The Pristina daily claims that official Belgrade is looking to "bring back Samardzic's idea of some kind of joint management over certain sectors in Kosovo by UNMIK and Serbia". "Belgrade's goal is to reach a deal with UNMIK similar to the Haekkerup-Covic agreement from November 2001," Zeri wrote, and added that Belgrade further wishes to "extend UNMIK's life beyond June 15, and bring back the subject of Kosovo's status". The paper went on to quote another unnamed Western diplomat who said the meeting in Belgrade last Wednesday "discredited UNMIK's role, and jeopardized the security and stability in Kosovo". The same diplomat told Zeri that Hashim Thaci and Fatmir Sejdiu have been informed of the development "via some diplomatic sources", while the paper described the alleged meeting as "very problematic for Kosovo".
