Chief of the Belgrade negotiating team in dialogue with Pristina Borislav Stefanovic said on Monday that the date for the resumption of talks has not been not set, but, however, added that Belgrade would accept the footnote 'without prejudice to the status of Kosovo' when it comes to Pristina's regional presentation, solely in addition to the reference of United Nation Security Council's Resolution 1244.

Not wanting to specify the details of the proposal, Stefanovic told Tanjug that he believes that the formulation 'without prejudice to the status' can be usable, but only with the use of Resolution 1244.

This may be useful, but hardly enough, Stefanovic said.

According to him, the date for the resumption of talks has not been set because the two parties' positions on the regional presentation of Pristina are still very different, which, as he put it, will be discussed at a meeting with EU mediator Robert Cooper, who is coming to Belgrade this week.

This will be a chance to talk about different options for resolving the issue of regional presentation, which, for us, absolutely presupposes the use of Resolution 1244. We will have an opportunity to find a solution which includes the Resolution with Cooper, Stefanovic said.

He refuted the claims by chief of Pristina's team Edita Tahiri that Pristina proposed the footnote, and qualified as untrue her statements that the EU is behind the proposal.

The EU is not behind any options, save for the one which both parties will accept. Pristina is not proposing anything. Pristina's proposal in such talks is actually a nonexistent term, and I would really like to put an end to such allegations, since Pristina simply does not have such an approach to the dialogue, Stefanovic concluded.
