Deputy PM Bozidar Djelic expects that talks between Belgrade and Pristina, under the auspices of European union, will include discussion on Kosovo's status. "We are ready for the talks. I would like to remind that it was Belgrade, together with all 27 EU members, five of which have not recognized Kosovo, that suggested a dialog should be initiated", he said. Deputy PM on Kosovo talks "And since a resolution passed in the UN does not mean Kosovo has been recognized, we expect the dialog will give a chance to open all issues, including that of Kosovo status", Djelic said in an interview. The deputy prime minister, in charge of European integrations, did not rule out the possible difficulties regarding the agenda for the talks. "When two sides, who are in the disagreement on many issues, start talking, it shouldn't come as a surprise if they cannot synchronise a list of issues they want to discuss", Djelic said. He is convinced that those who claim that the latest events preclude the possibility of realising the central motto of Serbian foreign policy, that reads "both Europe and Kosovo", are wrong. "These are two very demanding goals indeed, but they can be realised thanks to our commitment to European integrations and the fact that all Western Balkan countries want to join the EU and are working hard to reach a compromise about our southern province", Djelic said. "In order to have all 27 EU members accept entire Western Balkans, Belgrade and Pristina must find a solution acceptable for all, including the EU members that have not recognized Kosovo", Djelic concluded.
