BELGRADE The Belgrade delegation will not sign an agreement with Pristina in Brussels today, sources close to the Serbian negotiating team have told B92. If all conditions put forward by Belgrade are met, the document could be signed by Monday, April 22. Agreement could be signed "by Monday" The delegation that traveled to Brussels said it had received firm guarantees from the EU that the controversial, 14th point of the agreement would be modified. According to these sources, the Belgrade team will not sign the agreement unless Serbs from Kosovo are given the right to choose the regional police commander - which relates to point 9 of the proposed agreement, and if Pristina continues to insist on a UN chair (point 14). After the team returns from Brussels, the government, which will most likely meet on Monday, will have its say, and after that the Serbian parliament, B92 learned. On Sunday, the main board of the ruling Progressives (SNS) is set to meet and take its position on this issue. B92 also learned that the agreement now on the table is "significantly better" than the previous, rejected by Belgrade. The deal envisages a community of Serb municipalities with "serious powers", including the institution of the community's president, assembly, vice-president, council, "a serious organization", and financing "tied to Serbia" in the areas of health care, education and spatial planning. Beside the regional police commander, there will be four local commanders in the north and according to this, they will all be Serbs - while the police in this part of the province will have 98 percent Serbs within its ranks. South of the Ibar River, this percentage will be "proportionate to the number of inhabitants," B92 was told by the sources from the Belgrade negotiating team. (Tanjug, file) B92
