A state platform that is being drafted, meanwhile, should be "implementable, and in line with the Constitution", Ilić stated, explaining that this was "another goal".
Speaking for Serbia's public broadcaster, the minister and leader of New Serbia failed to specify what solutions and suggestions this policy in fact entailed.
"This is still being talked and negotiated about. The agreement was to hold consultations both with (foreign) ambassadors and some very important leaders across the world," Ilić said, when asked "whether the maximum was a special status for northern Kosovo".
According to him, the authorities do not wish to adopt "any platform, that will be a dead letter", but instead wish for the document to be "implementable":
"We wish to adopt a platform that will have some degree of implementability and be in line with the Constitution," he said, and noted that this was the case "regardless of the fact that the Constitution now complicated some things that are being negotiated".
Ilić also stressed that "all top state officials" were working on the plan for Kosovo, and seeking to find "the best possible solution":
"Everybody's been talking and negotiating in the past years and everybody's got us to a dire situation from which we cannot escape just like that."
