Still no agreement on Slovenia conference

No agreement has been reached over a formula that would allow both Belgrade and Pristina to take part in an informal conference in Slovenia on March 20. Slovenia's Foreign Minister Samuel Zbogar said on Saturday that the Kosovo Albanian representatives would be taking part under a formula already used in the EU format, namely, that "participating states take part without their names written", and that "UNMIK too would be invited to the gathering". Still no agreement on Slovenia conference The cabinet of Serbian President Boris Tadic reacted to this by stating that such an agreement was not reached, and that Serbia still insists that Kosovo must be represented in line with UNSC Resolution 1244, as Kosovo-UNMIK. At the same time, the Kosovo Albanian president and prime minister, Fatmir Sejdiu and Hashim Thaci, said that they would travel to Slovenia "only as representatives of the state of Kosovo". According to media reports in Ljubljana, Zbogar would not make any further comments on this, saying only that "things change and that many details won't be harmonized until the last day". But he did state once again that "both Tadic and Thaci confirmed their presence" at the forthcoming regional conference, "as did all other leaders of the Western Balkans countries that have been invited".
