Asked what Serbia will do if Haradinaj is acquitted and becomes the prime minister of Kosovo, Dacic told the press at the Serbian government building that he cannot chose his interlocutors in the dialogue, but that it is in Serbia's interest to continue the talks for the sake of the EU integration.
The prime minister stated that Serbia's representatives do not decide on who will they talk to in the process, and added that current Kosovo Prime Minister Hasim Taci was part of a delegation for talks in Rambouillet in 1999.
"It is important for us to resolve these issues because of our people, not because of Taci. It is in our interest to find a solution to this issue, because we are being pressured," Dacic said.
