Head of Belgrade's team in the dialogue with Pristina Borislav Stefanovic said late Sunday that when it comes to Kosovo's representation at regional forums, a solution mentioning Kosovo's declaration of independence is not acceptable to Belgrade.

Appearing on Radio and Television of Serbia ahead of the next round of talks scheduled for February 21, Stefanovic pointed out that Belgrade is not being asked to make any new concessions, because it has given "five or six new proposals for the regional representation of Pristina."

According to him, each of the proposals includes UN Security Council Resolution 1244, and the Belgrade team has worked out the proposals in daily consulations and "if there is enough wisdom and courage, above all, from the government in Pristina, an agreement is possible."

"It is important to Kosovo that it be represented in regional initiatives and Serbia should allow its voice to be heard, but it must be represented asymetrically, i.e. not on equal footing with independent states," said Stefanovic, explaining that the essence of the inequality is reflected in Resolution 1244 "which must be mentioned."

He added that Belgrade "could agree to a mention of the advisory opinion given by the International Court of Justice in The Hague," which did not affirm the right of Kosovo Albanians to unilaterally declare independence.

"In this space we can find a solution on Tuesday in Brussels," Stefanovic said, adding that "in addition to regional representation of Pristina, the talks will focus on the realization of past agreements, especially relating to the administrative crossings in northern Kosovo.

Stefanovic expressed a lot of reservations regarding the claims of Kosovo's Prime Minister Hasim Taci that an agreement was reached in a meeting with U.S. official William Burns that Kosovo will be represented by citing the Declaration of Independence, the ICJ opinion and Resolution 1244.

"I doubt anything has been agreed in this manner," he said, adding that Burns, who previously visited Belgrade, "is not a man who discusses the details of the dialogue in Brussels."
