Clinton:" The dialogue should focus on resolving daily issues"

Speaking at a joint news conference after their first meeting, Tadic noted Serbia "does not and will never" recognize Kosovo, adding that it respects all legitimate rights of ethnic Albanians, but also protects its own legitimate rights.

Serbia wants to reach a solution for Kosovo via peaceful and diplomatic means, said he, and added that the dialogue should start as soon as possible and include all issues that concern life in Kosovo.

Clinton said that are issues on which Serbia and her country do not agree, such as Kosovo, but that the UN General Assembly resolution constitutes a basis for dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina which could bring about improvements.

According to Clinton, the dialogue should focus on resolving daily issues.

"The UN General Assembly decision can become a basis for dialogue and benefit the people in Kosovo and Serbia," Clinton said.

The visit comes as the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina is expected to start in order to find solution to issues which, according to Clinton, are not easy to solve.

This despite different stands on Kosovo, analysts in Belgrade evaluated, saying that the Clinton also supported Serbia on its path of European integrations.

Professor at the Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences Predrag Simic said that Clinton's visit was marked by at least three, if not four, issues.

"One is Kosovo, on which Belgrade and Washington obviously have the same different stand as a year ago, when U.S. Vice-President Joseph Biden visited Belgrade. However, on the other side, Clinton evaluated Serbia's progress in reforms and transition using rather flattering words, supporting its progress towards European and, I underscore, Euro-Atlantic integrations," said Simic.
