Marty report will create a different political climate in Kosovo

Ivanovic believes that after the reports were made public, "international missions in Kosovo became aware that a problem had been recorded".

"Many in international missions thought that their mandates would go by without having to handle the hot potato, since they did not bring up subjects such as ethnically motivated crime and organ trafficking," said he.

As for the Serb community in the province, Ivanovic said they saw the situation as "very unpleasant, awakening a little hope, and reminding them of 1999".

"Objectively, we consider this an Albanian issue, because they have been allowed to get away with all sorts of things," according to the state secretary.

There are many unresolved issues, he continued, and for that reason Serbia does not favor delays in the announced talks.

"We tried to solve some of the issues using the European Union and other international mediators and did not succeed," said Ivanovic.

As for Belgrade's platform for the negotiations, he said it was defined by the Constitution, parliamentary resolutions and the government program, and that it would be made public once it had been adopted by the government.

Ivanovic said the first subject of the talks will likely be missing persons. As for the long-term goal of the talks with ethnic Albanians, he stated those were "to pacify the territory and the population, economic perspective and creation of democratic institutions".
