EU official: Kosovo debate not leaving UN

The same source added the EU’s foreign ministers were set to meet in Brussels on Monday to consider the union’s next moves in a bid to solve the Kosovo status problem.

At the same time, “the strongest efforts” to reach a solution at the UN will continue.

These efforts will not relocate to the six-nation Contact Group, the source said, and stresses EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana Tuesday “merely pointed to the possibility” that a new format for the fresh talks between Serbian authorities and the leadership of Kosovo Albanians may be explored.

This consideration of alternatives will only happen if it transpires that nothing can be done at the UN and that there can be no decision or new resolution on Kosovo, the source concluded.
