DS: No concessions made by Belgrade

Democratic Party (DS) spokesperson Jelena Trivan stated that Belgrade made no concessions regarding its draft resolution on Kosovo. Trivan stressed that no concessions were made as a result of the official visit of German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. DS: No concessions made by Belgrade “The Serbian government has repeated from the start that it is ready for a compromise, and this is not news, but this does not include major amendments to the text,” Trivan said for daily Vecernje Novosti. She added that Westerwelle's visit has showed that the problem with Serbia's resolution is not in its content, but more in the fact that certain countries do not want to open the issue of Kosovo at all since they consider it closed. “It is in this context that we should interpret Westerwelle's message that the map of Southeastern Europe has been changed for good,” Trivan said. She added that the Belgrade diplomats are in daily contact with Brussels and are trying to find an acceptable solution. However, the problem is that the EU as a whole has no uniform position on Kosovo.
