Deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic has stated that Belgrade is taking into consideration all possible outcomes of the UN GS debate regarding the Serbian resolution, and is trying to win over the majority of votes for the adoption of the resolution.

"We are aware that important world powers will not change their stand on the Kosovo issue overnight, whatever the outcome of the voting in the UN. Still, the resolution, as envisaged, should serve as an encouragement for talks that will eventually lead to a solution," Djelic said for Vecernje Novosti.

Deputy prime minister said that there is no consensus on the Kosovo matter even within the EU itself, which means that Brussels cannot force Serbia to have to choose between Kosovo and the EU.

"Many important countries in the world, which are the driving force of the global economic growth, share Serbia's view regarding this issue," Djelic said and expressed belief that Brussels and Washington will come to see that the necessity of compromise between Belgrade and Pristina is the only right solution.

Djelic said that the visit of German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle bears considerable importance for Serbia and that the talks with the German official will focus not only on Kosovo, but also on the economic relations between Serbia and Germany.

"Serbia cannot accept modifications in the resolution which would change the meaning of the text and which would in a roundabout way result in changes in the state policy on Kosovo, which won the support of Serbian citizens in the elections two years ago," Djelic pointed out.

He said that a small number of EU countries have decided to use Serbia's candidacy as an element of pressure before and during the UN GA.

Asked whether Serbia's concession to withdraw its resolution would accelerate the country's EU integration, Djelic said that Serbia neither uses its national interests as a bargaining chip nor considers it as an option.
