Report: Russia, West may compromise

"If Moscow shows readiness to accept the plan for Kosovo, as proposed by UN mediator Martti Ahtisaari, then Brussels and Washington would in exchange accept a two-year moratorium on Kosovo membership in the United Nations," Jutarnji List said.

Another condition would be a Russian military presence in the isolated Serb minority enclaves in Kosovo, the daily said.

Russia sent peacekeepers to Kosovo after the 1999 NATO intervention, but later withdrew them.

"The third condition is that NATO, which is expected to next year invite Croatia, Albania and Macedonia to become full members, does not extend the same invitation to the former Soviet republics of Ukraine and Georgia," the daily said.

It said diplomats in Moscow thought this solution would satisfy the major powers. The West is keen to resolve the issue in time for their G8 summit in Germany on June 6-8.

It is not the first time that the idea of a moratorium on Kosovo's membership of the United Nations has been floated as a way to ensure Russia's acquiescence in Kosovo's independence.

The Brussels-based International Crisis Group (ICG) said in a report this month that a two-year delay in Kosovo joining the United Nations, would "demonstrate responsiveness" to Russia.
