Ramush Haradinaj backed talks between Pristina and Belgrade on topics "of common interest for both sides". However, the president of the opposition Alliance for Kosovo's Future told the BBC Albanian language service in an interview on Monday that these discussion should be without mediators. Haradinaj for talks with Belgrade, without UNMIK "The UNMIK chief administrator should have no role in the talks," Haradinaj was quoted as saying. "Kosovo is an independent country which can identify topics for talks with Belgrade by itself and, if necessary, select mediators for the talks," he added said. Haradinaj also criticized the current ethnic Albanian leadership in Pristina by saying that "so far it has not been successful in the foreign policy and as a consequence lost an opportunity for Kosovo to become a member of the UN". He blamed Hashim Thaci for the stalemate in the process of Kosovo's recognitions. Haradinaj also commented the situation in the northern, Serb-dominated part of Kosovo by saying it has "degraded" since February, but added that there are "many possibilities to find a desired solution to that". Haradinaj is a former leader of the terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA, who became the territory's prime minister after the 1999 war. In early April this year, the Hague Tribunal cleared him of all charges for which he stood trial, that included murder, kidnapping, rape, persecution, destruction of property and cruel treatment of the province's Serbs, Romas and Albanians, in 1998.
