It's a shame that the internet is a virtual medium, because there are a lot of people out there that I'd like to express my deep feelings of friendship to, and having spent the last two years here in Serbia, I'd like to do it in a truly Serbian way.
Kosovo Officials Slam UN-Serbia Talks
| 25 April 2008 |
Pristina
Gjylnaze Syla from the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo expressed concern that the talks could “ result in something without Pristina’s consent.”
But according to Lindholm the talks “are of technical nature” and cover areas such as "governance, police officers who left the service, railways, customs – all these areas that are related to technical issues."
Kosovo Serbs, principally in the predoiminantly Serb northern municipalities, have been defying the Pristina authorities and challenging UNMIK’s mandate since Kosovo declared independence.
“Yes, we have information that there are talks, but only citizens and legitimate institutions of Kosovo can decide on Kosovo,” Deputy Kosovo Prime Minister Hajredin Kuci was reported as saying by Kosovo’s television, RTK.
Kuci added that “any other negotiation, especially anything to do with internal issues of Kosovo, is groundless.”
Earlier this week, senior UN Headquarters officials authorised the UN office in Belgrade to conduct discussions about UNMIK with Serb officials.
