Following the tide of "trial ballons" released by Western diplomats in the past couple of days, the next meeting between Belgrade officials and representatives of the Kosovo Albanians is widely seen as a key episode in the ongoing negotiations.

"It will be an important meeting, because Serbia will insist on a clear definition that the negotiating process must be conducted within the framework of Resolution 1244, which means that Serbia's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected and essential autonomy for the province's Albanian national minority guaranteed," Kostunica said.
