Belgrade wants negotiations to be postponed until debate at UN
Mutual resolution by Serbia and the EU over Kosovo is not very likely at the moment because Brussels remained firm in its stance that proposal for the UN General Assembly has to refer to ‘technical negotiations' with Pristina.daily Blic writes.

Belgrade suggested somewhat moderated variant by not insisting that ‘negotiations over the status' are mentioned in the wording of the resolution in order to reach a compromise, but the Chief of the EU foreign affairs Catherine Ashton has not replied positively until so far, ‘Blic' learns at Serbia Government.
Belgrade is also seeking from the EU not to insist that negotiations with Pristina begin before September, i.e. before session of the UN General Assembly.
The EU Council of ministers yesterday debated over importance and possible consequences of the advisory opinion by the ICJ over Kosovo.
The ministers remained not united in their stances since the countries which have not recognized Kosovo insist that no agreement can be reached on the basis of unilaterally proclaimed independence.
