UNMIK chief Lamberto Zannier said that he was ready to play the role of a mediator in talks between the Albanian and Serb communities in the province. It would be a low-level dialogue in which progress in certain areas, particularly in the north of Kosovo, would be sought, Zannier told BBC. Zannier “willing to mediate on practical issues” A year and a half ago, the authorities in Belgrade and UNMIK have agreed on a six-point plan for Kosovo, which was approved by the UN Security Council, but it has yet to be implemented, Tanjug reports. The six points regulate the status of Serbs in the areas in Kosovo and Metohija in which they make up the majority of the population. The points refer to police, justice, duty payment, traffic, infrastructure and protection of the Serbian cultural heritage. The provisional institutions in Pristina opposed the plan which was backed by all 15 members of the UN Security Council. Zannier also expressed his concern over Pristina's initiative for the north of Kosovo which he believes could cause problems. Zannier also said that a decision of the International Court of Justice on Kosovo might complicate the situation further, adding that this “does not mean that the ICJ's decision would make things easier” in the province. The ICJ is expected to rule late this year on the legality under international law of the Kosovo Albanian unilateral proclamation of independence made over two years ago.
