Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic late on Monday stated that talks between Belgrade and Pristina will not be easy and that there will be countries in the European Union that will set recognition of Kosovo's independence as a condition for Serbia's accession in the Union.

"Representatives of the so-called state of Kosovo want to discuss technical issues while Serbia wants to talk about status issues," said Dacic.

In a program by Radio and Television of Serbia, Dacic said that Kosovo is of priority for Serbia at present, but that it is not the only problem that has to be solved, underscoring that Serbia was not defeated when it accepted the Serbia-EU compromise Resolution on the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice.

"Had an end been put to the issue of the status of Kosovo with this document Serbia would have been defeated," said Dacic.

Leader of the United Regions of Serbia and Minister of Economy and Regional development Mladjan Dinkic evaluated that there will be no essential talks between Belgrade and Pristina in the coming years and that Serbia will have to wait for the other side and the international community to be ready for talks.

"Problems can not be solved if the other side is not ready to talk. We want to meet with Albanians but the question is whether this is the right moment," said Dinkic.

Dinkic underscored that Serbia's diplomacy now has only one goal and that is not to have the issue of Kosovo and Metohija set as a condition for its accession in the European Union, which is why friendly relations should be built with the EU, which is Serbia's priority.
