SERBIANNA
International negotiators have announced that independence for Kosovo is no longer an option in talks to establish a viable status for this Serbian province and instead international negotiators, known as the troika, will focus on an “internationally supervised status for Kosovo”.
“I would say that we will try to reach a status solution which will provide for an internationally supervised status for Kosovo. I would leave open independence. I would rather talk about a strong supervised status,” said a troika member Wolfgang Ischinger who is from Germany.
The end of the road for the Kosovo independence is likely to infuriate Kosovo Albanians who have repeatedly stated that they will resort to violence if the world does not heed to their demands to get independence.”We are going there [to London as a state … we want to talk about technical issues between two independent states and we want to discuss issues beyond independence,” said Agim Ceku, Kosovo Albanian leader of the province.
Ischinger fiercely dismissed this approach.
