Kosovo Serbs meet Belgrade officials

“We will ask for a constructive and responsible treatment of Kosovo, we will seek speedy formation of the new government, we will point to the need to strengthen the negotiating team personnel-wise, and will insist that our Vienna talks team stands firm on Ahtisaari’s proposal, which is unacceptable in its entirety,” Northern Kosovo Serb National Council chairman Milan Ivanović said.

According to him, the delegation will insist that all the sections of Ahtisaari’s plan that grant Kosovo statehood attributes must be “strategically changed”.

“Any form of trading when it comes to Kosovo is unacceptable”, Ivanović said.

He added that the delegation will also demand that the Belgrade authorities increase investment in the province, in order to insure the return of the internally displaced Kosovo Serbs.

According to Ivanović, the Kosovo Serb delegation will first meet with G17 Plus officials, followed by meetings with the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), the Democratic Party (DS), Serb Radical Party (SRS) and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).
