Javier Solana says that the Kosovo status talks are going "better than expected". After a meeting of the European Union Council of Ministers yesterday, the EU foreign and security policies chief said that the second round of talks between Belgrade and Pristina had "not gone badly, and that negotiations were progressing better than expected." Solana: Kosovo talks going better than expected Solana said that dialogue was giving results, but that the results could not be guaranteed. The European Union foreign ministers had asked the Serbian and Albanian sides to engage “creatively, courageously and in the spirit of compromise.” Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said that the fact that the Serbian and Kosovo delegations had finally begun direct talks in Brussels was good, adding that “every beginning is difficult.” Addressing participants of an economic conference in Belgrade, Jeremic said that Serbia was ready to give up a lot in the process of determining Kosovo’s future status, but that it could not give up its sovereignty over the province. Director of the Forum for Ethnic Relations Dusan Janjic told B92 that Belgrade was not expected to propose anything new during the resumption of talks. “Belgrade has nothing more to offer. Belgrade could have made a more successful bid in 2005, but did not. As a result, we will now get what we could have offered, only now it will be imposed. Extended international administration can be expected, in this case, led by the EU,” Dusan Janjic said. Janjic said that it was important for the negotiating process to continue, and that it would go on until Washington and Moscow reached an agreement. “We need to keep in mind the fact that the international community has entered the Kosovo problem so deeply that it has taken the province’s administration upon itself, becoming the third side in the process. Secondly, the key decision is not in the hands of Belgrade or Pristina, rather in the hands of the United Nations Security Council, or more precisely, Washington and Moscow,” he said. The next meeting between the two sides is due to take place on October 22 in Vienna. Three more meetings are expected to be held in November.
