After a meeting with his Serbian counterpart Vojislav Kostunica, Gyurcsany said that a solution for Kosovo should be found by December 10, when the three international mediators are to submit their report to the U.N. Security Council.
Kostunica said he had acquainted the Hungarian prime minister with Serbia's aims to find a mutually acceptable solution, stressing that Belgrade had from the beginning had that sort of solution in mind through the essential autonomy proposal, but that Pristina would not accept anything but independence.
Kostunica went on to say that "any attempt to find a solution outside of the U.N. Security Council would not only damage the region and Serbia, but would jeopardize the organization's reputation."
The prime minister also said that the Serbian government would annul "the potential decision on Kosovo's independence," because Serbia was "bound" to do so "by its new democratic Constitution, the introduction of which states that Kosovo is a part of Serbia."
