Tadić: Hyseni’s statements direct threat

President Boris Tadic called Skender Hyseni’s statement that new status talks could cause conflicts in the region a “direct threat.” “This strange understanding of dialogue and negotiations represents a direct threat and shows the destabilizing consequences of the unilateral Kosovo independence proclamation,” Tadic said at the UN Security Council meeting in New York on Friday. Tadic: Hyseni’s statements direct threat Regarding the claims of Kosovo Foreign Minister Hyseni that Serbs voted in the local elections in Kosovo, Tadic said that only about six percent of Kosovo Serbs participated in the elections. As far as the supplying of electricity to the north of Kosovo is concerned, Tadic said that the Kosovo Electric Corporation (KEK) has cut off all supplies of electricity to Serb households, which is why Serbian Electric (EPS) is now reacting in order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. “I hope that it will be possible to find a practical solution for the depoliticalization of the question,” Tadic said. Hyseni answered Tadic's comments, saying that Kosovo “is the last country in the world that wants to destabilize the Balkans,” and repeated that the proclamation of Kosovo’s independence has contributed to peace and security.
