Serbia’s Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic and negotiating team head Borislav Stefanovic have called on all sides in Kosovo to restrain from using force. Bogdanovic told B92 that talks with KFOR Commander Erhard Buhler could be continued during the day and that the Serbian side would present concrete proposals. Serbian officials call for “restraint in Kosovo” “Talks with KFOR Commander Erhard Buhler were constructive and Serbian government’s delegation presented clear positions for solving the crisis in northern Kosovo,” said Stefanovic. The minister for Kosovo pointed out that the main message of the meeting was that the situation needed to be solved peacefully. “We have called on everybody to restrain themselves, not to use force, that we on our part are making an enormous effort in order to keep the people calm, not to let anybody provoke them and that nobody even thinks of taking arms against the people or KFOR,” Bogdanovic explained. Serbian government’s Media Office Chief Milivoje Mihajlovic claims that Serbs in Kosovo are peacefully expressing their dissatisfaction with the situation at the administrative crossings. “The situation in northern Kosovo is flammable and fire extinguishing action, so to speak, is now necessary. I’m afraid that provisional government in Pristina led by Hashim Thaci is trying to put out the fire with gas. It’s not good to reach for those flammable statements at the moment, it is important for the situation to calm down and that we return to negotiating table and try to solve the problem,” he pointed out. Stefanovic and Bogdanovic should once again meet with municipal presidents and northern Kosovo district heads on Wednesday. According to announcements, they are expected to harmonize their positions. The Belgrade team head told daily Blic that everybody needed to restrain themselves from harsh words, including him. “It is very important for the people who are watching this to realize that emotions are mixed, that we are surrounded by people who have great expectations. It happens that we say something and later we realize that maybe it was not appropriate in the given situation. That is bad, I want to dissociate myself from it, as a negotiator I have no right to too strong words. I believe that all of us should restrain ourselves from flammable words because they can only bring harm,” Stefanovic was quoted as saying. Goran Bogdanovic and Borislav Stefanovic (Tanjug)
