“We are working on creating the circumstances for reopening negotiations. We will discuss cooperation once these negotiations become a reality,’ Jeremić told daily Danas.
Asked whether an idea for partition existed, he replied: “Not within the Serbian government.”
Jeremić expects that once the case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) concerning the legality of Kosovo’s independence declaration ends, and which is expected to take two years, a decision will be made that the Kosovo government violated laws and they will be forced to return to the negotiating table in order to find a compromise solution.
He said that once the ICJ deemed the independence declaration illegal, negotiations would have to be reopened. However, he did not want to predict what kind of a solution could potentially stem from such negotiations.
“A lot of scope needs to be left for finding a solution. Such a decision from the ICJ will make it clear that negotiations will be necessary in order to remove this difficult institutional and security problem,” Jeremić said.
