Following talks with Kosovo MPs, he did not specify Pristina's requests, but he said that the Kosovo institutions have not changed their stand on the six-item proposal, not even after UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called on Kosovo institutions to accept proposal on the future role of Unmik and Eulex in Kosovo.
According to Pristina media, Taci once again pointed out the determination of the Kosovo institutions not to give way to international community's pressures to accept the plan, adding, however, that Prisitna is ready for a dialogue with the European Union and the United States on that plan.
Prisitina press reported that the international community intensified pressures on representatives of the Kosovo institutions after early this week they rejected the six-item proposal of the plan on the reconfiguration of the international civilian presence in Kosovo.
The leaders of Kosovo Albanian parties and non-Serb communities have given their full support to the decision of Kosovo President and Premier, Fatmir Sejdiu and Hasim Taci, respectively, to reject the six-item proposal on UNMIK reconfiguration.
Meanwhile, in Warsaw, Serbian President Boris Tadic rejected any changes in the agreement on the reconfiguration of international civil presence in Kosovo.
"Every change in the agreement Serbia has reached with the UN on the reconfiguration of the civil mission is unacceptable, regardless of Pristina's expectations," Tadić said at a news conference he held together with his Polish counterpart Lech Kaczynsky in Warsaw.
He reiterated Serbia 's stand that EULEX is welcome in Kosovo only if the mission respects the principle of neutrality and if it comes approved by the UN Security Council.
