President Boris Tadic says Belgrade will continue to insist on a resumption of talks on Kosovo and finding a compromise solution. This, the president told state broadcaster RTS late on Wednesday, regardless of the stand of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stand on the issue of the legality of the unilateral declaration of independence by Kosovo's ethnic Albanians. "Serbia ready for new intiatives on Kosovo" Tadic also underscored that the policy of peace "immunizes Serbia from attacks coming from international public". According to him, "there is no doubt that things regarding Kosovo and Metohija may change, either as a consequence of the economic crisis or as a result of the changes in relations on the international political scene". "In that sense, it is of major importance that Serbia has two influential states, China and Russia, on its side," said he. "As for the proceedings before the International Court of Justice, we will make a decision when the time comes. We are now analyzing every model, but we hope for a positive solution," said Tadic. "We are ready to undertake new initiatives, that have not been undertaken from the very beginning. I'm an optimist and hope for a positive response of the ICJ." The president was also quoted on the RTS website as saying, "A few years ago a world politician told me, 'You will have to recognize Kosovo's independence sooner or later'. Last year, the same politician spoke to me in this way: 'Soon the international community will address you to give you back something that's yours'." Boris Tadic (Tanjug)
