Head of the Serbian parliamentary delegation to PACE Aleksandra Djurovic told Tanjug that a plenary vote resulted in a resolution that is "favorable to Serbia" as all three amendments by Kosovo Albanians were rejected.
"The resolution is favorable to us and it contains much criticism regarding corruption and respect of human rights. The position of Mr. Conde and the Council of Europe (CoE) is that they insist on status neutrality and respect of values that the CoE deals with," Djurovic said.
The Kosovo Albanian side sought that the obligation to establish the Community of Serb Municipalities be dropped from the resolution, she said.
"An amendment whereby they wanted to alter the statement that UNESCO has rejected their membership bid and just state the result of the vote was also rejected. They also wanted to include a direct cooperation of Kosovo with Europol and Interpol, rather than through UNMIK, which is a part of the resolution," she said.
She noted that Kosovo Albanians wished to use the fact Conde is no longer a member of PACE to change the draft, but failed.
Anther member of Serbia's delegation, Zarko Obradovic, commended Conde's work on drafting the resolution, saying it was "a high quality document that deals with CoE standards in areas of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and appraises to what degree all these are respected in Kosovo."
He added that since neither Serbia nor the UN and a large number of CoE members recognize the so-called independence of Kosovo, he was "welcoming the status-neutral approach that Mr. Conde applied in drafting the resolution."
"The resolution states the numerous negative events and occurrences that Serbia has been pointing out to for 17 years, and that remain without an answer to this day," Obradovic stressed.
P.S. this "news story" sounds like a Serb trying to convince him/herself that Serbia is the master of the universe haha

Be confused no more.
By not giving Kosovo region the right to made decisions they wanted, it recognizes that Serbia is in control not Pristina. A province cannot be higher or equal in status than the country it belongs to.

I guess you haven't read the resolution. In fact the same resolution actually asks from KOSOVO authorities to make decisions themselves in relation to corruption, integration of Kosovo Serbs on its institutions, normalization of relations with Serbia etc.
All of the points mentioned there are valid. The status "neutral" language of resolution has nothing to do with Serbia, but with unanimity of approval of 13 countries members of CoE which haven't recognized Kosovo (34 countries have recognized Kosovo's independence). Absence of such "disclaimer" would indirectly force these countries to sign a document - de facto recognizing Kosovo as independent. CoE as institution cannot force anyone to recognize or not independence of Kosovo, hence the language.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

Serbs are wasting time, they should know by now that EU is supportive of Kosovo regardless, and at all costs.

I am kind of confused...if Kosovo is considered part of Serbia how come a resolution which is considered negative towards Kosovo is considered "favorable" to Serbia?
Did just Serbian officials recognized indirectly its independence?

I have got to ask lol, what exactly is your definition of Keeping?
Last time I checked Serbia was forced out of Kosovo otherwise bombs raining over Serbia were not going to stop.
Secondly, it is the same EU that keeps on padding Serbia in her back, at the same time asking her to normalize relations with Pristina. Majority of EU members have recognized Kosovo. What exactly does serbia have left in Kosovo?
I would like you to explain it a bit more in details, but I doubt that you can argue these facts I have presented to you.
