Asked by a Tanjug reporter whether a state platform for negotiations on Kosovo would be ready by then, Dacic told a press conference in Novi Sad that the essential issues were still not discussed.

Serbia is not changing its state policy, Dacic said, adding that the government is developing a platform for each meeting and all state bodies are doing their job.

"The talks that are taking place right now have nothing to do with the vital issue of Kosovo, as they are status-neutral. We want to finally resolve that issue as well, and when it is on the agenda, then will what is written in the platform be applied, of course," said Dacic.
