"We will propose amendments"

“Naturally, there will be no compromises when it comes to preserving our national interests in Kosovo”, Jeremić told Večernje Novosti.

He added that Martti Ahtisaari’s statement made in Brussels Friday that he did not expect the Vienna negotiations to produce any compromise, would not deter Belgrade from “approaching them constructively.”

Jeremić added that in case no compromise was reached, “all will be in the hands of the UN Security Council”.

“Content and process”

Belgrade’s Kosovo team advisor Swiss legal expert Thomas Fleiner told the state television Saturday the Kosovo status talks content must belong to the negotiating parties, while the process should be controlled by the international mediator.

He warned that true compromise could not have been reaches, since “true negotiations never took place”.

“During the talks in Vienna last July, both president Tadić and prime minister Koštunica said they were ready to compromise. Ahtisaari’s answer was that he wanted to hear the word ‘solution’, not ‘compromise’. No solution could be reached based on that, since any solution must come as a result of what the negotiating parties, rather than the mediator, come up with”, Fleiner concluded.
