Thaci: No more talks with Belgrade He added that “no one can negotiate, nor will there be any negotiations” regarding these issues. Ban proposed new talks be held regarding six fields—police, judiciary, customs, borders, protection of cultural and religious heritage, as well as traffic and telecommunications. Commenting on UNMIK Chief Lamberto Zannier’s statement regarding talks about the police, judiciary, and customs with Belgrade, Thaci said that he would only respect the constitution, “and not anyone’s ad hoc statements.” “The boss in Kosovo are the people and the people they elect,” Thaci replied when asked to respond to Zannier’s statement that he was the boss in Kosovo as long as UN Security Council Resolution 1244 was in force. Thaci refused to admit that there was any stagnation in the process of recognition of Kosovo’s unilateral independence, stating that “that should not be looked purely in terms of numerical recognitions.” Hasim Thaci (FoNet, archive)
