N. Kosovo Serb leaders presented Wednesday a peace initiative to act as a temporary solution to the current crisis in the province international reps in Kosovo. The Serbs presented the initiative to KFOR, EULEX, UNMIK and OSCE at a regular meeting between the representatives of the local self-governments in northern Kosovo and the international institutions in the town of Zvecan. Northern Kosovo Serbs propose peace initiative The document recommends that the existing impasse be overcome by peaceful means and political agreement. The document calls for a time-out for peace, urging KFOR and other missions to refrain from taking violent actions against Serbs in the north. It also envisages free passage of people and goods at administrative crossings and removal of the roadblocks. The draft document seeks a permanent and sustainable political solution through the resumption of the open political process involving Pristina, Belgrade, northern Kosovo Serbs and the international community. It proposes that KFOR be in charge of control and security, including the establishment of control points in the places of Dudin Krs, Kosutovo - Zubce, Jagnjenica and elsewhere as needed. Police operations in the north and at Gates 1 and 31 would be carried out by the Kosovo Police Service (KPS), monitored by KFOR and UNMIK, while EULEX would continue to operate in the wider region of Kosovska Mitrovica. The peace initiative states that the crisis in northern Kosovo escalated as a result of the use of force and imposition of unilateral solutions. It recalls the fact that the Serbs in the four municipalities in northern Kosovo do not accept to be part of “an independent Albanian republic in Pristina.” The initiative states that sustainable solutions for northern Kosovo can be found if efforts are made to ease the pressure on the Serbs and Serbia. The international community should help prevent the imposition of unilateral solutions and stop yielding continuously to demands of Kosovo Albanians, it says. The initiative points out that the Serbs will begin to implement the solutions proposed by the document immediately after KFOR, the EU and the international community give their opinions. The meeting was attended by Zvecan and Zubin Potok Mayors Dragisa Milovic and Slavisa Ristic, Kosovska Mitrovica District Head Radenko Nedeljkovic and KFOR, EULEX, UNMIK and OSCE representatives.
