"Parliament could adopt new resolution on Kosovo"

He stressed that it was "necessary that Belgrade has a clear position." "Justice is the zone in which we do not have all the relations regulated even in Serbia. Over there we must have excellent judges. At this point it is not immediately feasible, perhaps we can send judges to help out, but it does not fit into the system of Pristina's laws. Also, if EULEX wants to change the mission's mandate and numbers then obviously we have to reach a new agreement," he said. Nikolic also announced the possibility of adopting a new resolution on Kosovo in the Serbian parliament. "I will do as I am assigned. If they request a new resolution, I will certainly suggest it, I have never run away from it. If they ask me to declare myself on a resolution that would be submitted by the government itself, and I will certainly do that. I will not be unhelpful toward the government," said Nikolic. The president noted that he was "convinced that a new government will continue the European integration, reform and dialogue with Pristina," but added that "a new agreement" was needed in this regard.
He commented on Monday's round of talks in Brussels to say it was "a meeting ahead of the forming of a new government" and stressed that government would have to, given the sensitivity of the issues being discussed, come up with a strategy on how to move forward, while the new parliament "will also have to declare itself on that." He added that "every parliament should approve the actions of its government." "In the meantime, since the Brussels agreement was reached several things that were unforeseen took place - the transfer to the armed forces of Kosovo, about which there was no indication that it should be discussed, and then, there have been various events in the world that could shake the confidence of Priština,and lead Belgrade to think about whether it could offer a final solution which would be consistent with the Constitution, international law, and reality. We will not be able to get everything we want or lose everything others would want (us to lose)," he said. "If EULEX is thinking about changing its mandate, then it is obvious that we have to reach a new deal, as we had reached a deal when the previous government was formed," said Nikolic. According to him, the negotiating team for the dialogue with Pristina will remain virtually the same, except that Aleksandar Vucic, "if he wants the mandate," would lead these talks "more directly." "But there will be no change in the desires and ambitions," he added.
