"Dialogue chance for Kosovo compromise"

Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic said that the goal of the talks was to solve everyday problems in Kosovo, but also the issue of its status, noting that any item on the agenda will be burdened by this question.

It could also serve to achieve "reconciliation, as well as to come to a solution that would satisfy both sides in a new international environment", said he.

"I am sure this is an opportunity to get to a historic compromise and historic reconciliation because the problems in the relations between Serbs and Albanians have already been there over the past few centuries," Bogdanovic told.

He said it was good that Pristina and Belgrade had come to the dialog, and that the daily life problems burdening both Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo would finally be talked about.

"We will never recognize Kosovo as an independent creation, and it is good that these discussions have not been given a fixed term and that participants in the talks will not go to Brussels with ready-made solutions," said Bogdanovic.
