"In order to achieve success, key leaders of all Kosovo communities need to work on creation of a joint vision and future," Fule said.

Addressing the ISG decision on Monday, Serbia's PM Ivica Dacic said that the country finds "any kind" of independence of its southern province - supervised or unsupervised - "unaccaptable".
