Officials of the (interim) Kosovo authority are still in two minds about the way in which possible talks with Belgrade should be coordinated, the Pristina daily Koha Ditore reported Thursday, adding, however, that the Kosovo president and government are making effort to include other factors in the process.
The paper assesses that Kosovo institutions are still unceratin as to how things should be coordinated between the position, the opposision and the civil society before holding possible talks with Serbia, which are expected to take place after the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence. The role of the international factor is not excluded, the paper adds.
While the government does not rule out the possibility that consensual atmosphere during the talks be created with the help of some special mechanism, Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu believes that it is the institutions that should manage this process, but does not exclude the possibility of engaging people outside of the ruling coalition.
If we decide to use institutional mechanisms, then certain experts may have to be engaged, he said, pointing out that in any case, institutions would have the main role. I have always insisted that all potentials should be used in order to make a good decision, Sejdiu noted.
Sejdiu also said that ICJ's opinion will be of crucial importance for discouraging Serbia's obstructive attitude towards Kosovo.
