/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Serbia's foreign minister is convinced a compromise
solution can be found to decide the future of Kosovo. He said Serbia
is even ready to give up some of its certain sovereign prerogatives.
"Like being able to have their own access to the World Bank and the
IMF, like the international financial institutions, like some kind
of representation abroad.
We are prepared to give up a lot of things, but they also need to be
prepared to give up something," the Serbian Foreign Minister stated.
He also underlined thanks to Russia's principled position - principled
adherence to international law, Serbia got this opportunity to hold
negotiations with Albanians of Kosovo, the BBC Russian Service reports.
Kosovo with its 90% ethnic Albanian population has been governed by
the UN since 1999, when NATO bombardment forced the Serbian troops
leave the province. A new round of talks is due to take place between
Belgrade and the Kosovo Albanian leadership after moves to introduce
independence were blocked at the UN Security Council. The United
States, Russia and European Union are also participating in talks.
