Head of the Pristina team in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Edita Tahiri said a statement coming from Belgrade team chief Borko Stefanovic was "provocative". Stefanovic told the media in Belgrade that Belgrade was open to discussing a partition of Kosovo during the ongoing talks. Partition talk is provocation, K. Albanians say The talks in Brussels are first official meetings between the representatives of the Serbian government and the Kosovo Albanians, after they unilaterally declared independence three years ago - something that Serbia has rejected. Now Edita Tahiri says the Kosovo Albanian side dismissed a possibility of partition. "The concept is that the dialogue is supposed to focus on technical issues and that political topics would not be accepted at any time," Tahiri said in an interview for Albanian language daily Express. "Stefanovic's ideas are destabilizing the region," she asserted. Tahiri refuted the allegations that there were certain tendencies to discuss separation during the first three rounds of talks with the Belgrade delegation. "There were no such tendencies because all sides confirmed at the very first meeting that they have accepted the concept of a technical dialogue that deals with practical issues," Tahiri said. She added that Stefanovic's statement constituted for a "provocation" and was "damaging to the dialogue". "Such provocative statements are harmful to the dialogue, Tahiri said and expressed belief that Stefanovic "should in this case be held responsible for the contribution to a successful dialogue". Tahiri also believes that "such claims are designed to suit the needs of Serbia's internal politics". Edita Tahiri (Beta, file)
