Head of the Belgrade team for the dialogue with Pristina and Political Director of the Serbian Foreign Ministry Borislav Stefanovic has stated that he expects the new round of Belgrade-Pristina talks to include the issue of Kosovo-Metohija's (KiM) electricity supply.

"We expect to discuss the issues raised during the previous round of talks, and we will try to reach a positive conclusion and close every one of them. We also expect several other topics to be added. It is very likely that one of them will be the electricity supply in KiM," Stefanovic told the Thursday issue of the Belgrade-based daily Blic.

According to him, all issues are nearing good solutions, except for the issue of customs seals. During the previous talks, Serbia's side submitted concrete proposals for solving this issue, which are in accordance with Serbia's position on the Kosovo status, but also with European standards, Stefanovic stressed.

"We suggested several options. We will try to find a solution which is both acceptable for Pristina, and in compliance with Serbia's position on the preservation of sovereignty, which will enable the flow of goods and capital.

Serbia is ready for an agreement and a creative solution which does not question its Constitution and its position regarding Kosovo's status, and which, on the other hand, will be able to initiate positive processes in the region," Stefanovic stressed.

Pointing out that this issue will not be easy to solve, Stefanovic said that Serbia's team expects to hear the other side's opinion, but also the proposals on all other issues raised during the previous meeting - the registry books, cadasters, CEFTA Presidency, air traffic and telecommunications.

According to Stefanovic's expectations, a new round of talks will last one or two days, and the idea is for the meetings to take place every three weeks. "We can be efficient enough to complete the talks by the end of the year or at the beginning of 2012, although there are no deadlines, nor should we create artificial ones. There are many burning issues burdening the Serbs in KiM which need to be solved as soon as possible, while at the very end the relations between Belgrade, Pristina and northern Kosovo remain the ultimate topic," Stefanovic underscored.
