Koha Ditore has reported that Kosovo will be represented at regional and international forums under its own name, with an additional explanation saying that there is no prejudice as to the countries' stands regarding status.
Stefanovic said that as numerous times in the past, the Pristina press was making all sorts of insinuations, and that "different modalities" of representation had been discussed.
"In essence, each of these modalities touched on Resolution 1244, because the relations between Belgrade and Priština are not bilateral," he explained
"The problem is not between us, it is much wider, and concerns whether and under what terms Kosovo can be represented at forums made up of independent states, because it is not one," the team chied said.
Pointing out that the issue was being discussed with the international community "which is essentially trying to bring the positions of the two sides closer," he said the international community should turn its focus on Pristina.
"It needs to drop maximalist demands and the need to eliminate the (UN Security Council) Resolution, which is the last valid foundation of international treatment of Kosovo's status and its representation," Stefanovic concluded.
