"Partition Kosovo along Ibar River"

The Christian Democratic Party of Serbia (DHSS) on Wednesday urged the partition of Kosovo. The province, according to the party headed by former justice minister Vladan Batic, should be divided to the north and south parts along the Ibar River. "Partition Kosovo along Ibar River" DHSS Deputy President Milan St. Protic, speaking in a news conference on Wednesday, also recommended that Belgrade should "clearly define its ultimate goals". "The partition of Kosovo, whichever option is chosen, is a realistic outcome and the maximum that Serbia can achieve," Protic told reporters. He urged the current government "to clearly define, either publically or within plans and preparations for future diplomatic activities, exactly where this maximum is with regards Kosovo and Metohija, without threatening the country's other vital interests". Protic added that it is necessary to make a good estimate whether the partition of Kosovo, "coupled with a wise, clever and patient policy", could be realized either by incorporating territories to the north of the Ibar into central Serbia, or by rendering them a separate entity with a high level of autonomy from Pristina, and special relations with Belgrade.
