That will include identification documents and Belgrade-issued vehicle registration plates with the initials of Kosovo towns, said he.

Commenting the talks with the U.S. administration, Dacic stated in an interview for Cleveland-based magazine the Plain Dealer that both sides would like to see their relations promoted, but that their positions on Kosovo differ.

He underscored that mutual cooperation of the security services was particularly commended, the Serbian Interior Ministry released.

When asked about the report by Council of Europe Special Rapporteur Dick Marty on human organ trafficking in Kosovo, Dacic responded that the U.S. officials are committed to the completion of the investigation.

"The only difference is that the U.S. believes that the investigation should be carried out by EULEX, whereas Serbia accepts only an independent and objective investigation," Dacic said, the statement reads.

Dacic pointed out that this is no more a problem of Serbia, but rather of the whole world, adding that it is not only Serbia that should tackle this issue.
