PRISTINA The dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade "will not bring a UN seat to Kosovo", writes a Pristina-based Albanian language daily. At the same time, the talks, held in Brussels and sponsored by the EU, "will not lead to a full normalization of relations", according to Koha Ditore. "Dialogue won't provide Kosovo with UN seat" Instead, the article continues, it will provide Belgrade with the start of EU membership talks and allow Pristina to start talks on the SAA - "but no more than that". An unnamed diplomat told the newspaper that Kosovo "cannot count on a chair at the UN through dialogue." "No, a seat in the United Nations is not and will not be part of the talks," said the diplomat. According to the daily, the same official noted that the idea of UN membership for Kosovo "came from Germany", and that it was a result of thinking that the dialogue could produce "more than was intended". According to this unnamed source, EU member states "are not too happy" because of Germany's insistence to continue applying maximum pressure on Serbia. The diplomat added that Germany had "a far more ambitious agenda" than other countries, and especially compared to EU High Representative for Foreign Policy Catherine Ashton and her team - but that this agenda "cannot be achieved in the short term".
