He said Serbia had been given guarantees that the UN six-item plan would not be changed.
According to the six-item plan, which was accepted by Serbian authorities, the chain of command of the local police in the Serb communities will remain nearly unchanged even after the deployment of Eulex, while part of the money collected from levies charged at the administrative crossings in the north would remain in the hands of local Serbs.
Serbia wants the European Union to have its presence in Kosovo approved by the UN Security Council, to ensure that this mission is status neutral and not to implement the Martti Ahtisaari plan which the UN Security Council did not accept because of the opposition of Serbia and Russia.
Meanwhile, EU Foreign Policy and Security Chief Javier Solana will meet with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday in New York to discuss the UNMIK reconfiguration plan and the EULEX deployment in Kosovo.
Ban's spokesman Brendan Varma told Kosovo daily Zeri that the secretary-general was not planning to give up on or change the six-point plan.
"The secretary general has said what he had to say, and that has not changed. We are not planning to change the six-point plan and we will continue to work on finding a solution," Varma said.
