Assistant Foreign Minister Zdravko Ponos says that Belgrade has been ready for months to begin talks with Pristina without any prerequisites and done solutions. “All scenarios are possible. We’ve been ready for months, we’re now waiting for Pristina,” he told daily Press. Belgrade "ready for talks for long time” “We are entering the talks without prerequisites, without prepared solutions, because if we had them the talks would be meaningless,” Ponos pointed out. “Otherwise we would go back to what Ahtisaari had offered us and that’s unacceptable and unsustainable. If we begin this way, then the talks will be meaningless,” he was quoted as saying. The assistant foreign minister stressed that the date for the beginning of negotiations depended on Pristina and that the date they would finish “depends on how constructive we are”. He also added that “we are prepared to be constructive and there are no taboos for us”. When asked whether partition of Kosovo was a “taboo”, Ponos said that “this is not our negotiating position and we will see what the other side will come up with”. Zdravko Ponos (FoNet, file)
