Belgrade and Pristina receive revised UN Kosovo status plan
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 07 - 03 - 2007


Serbian and Albanian officials Wednesday received
the revised version of UN special Kosovo envoy Martti Ahtisaari's
plan for the future status of the breakaway Serbian province, according to dpa.
The revised document has been given to both the Serbian and
Kosovar negotiation teams in light of the final round of UN-mediated
Kosovo status discussions, scheduled to consist of a high-level
meeting in Vienna on Saturday.
Though there have been no comments regarding the new text of the
proposal from either side, the changes made to the original proposal
are expected to be minimal.
The first proposal, presented by Ahtisaari to Belgrade and
Pristina in February, envisages an internationally-supervised
independence for the province.
The ethnic Albanian majority in Kosovo welcomed the plan, while
Belgrade rejected it, reiterating its offer of widespread autonomy
for Kosovo while retaining sovereignty over the province.
NATO ousted Belgrade's security forces from the province in 1999,
after bloody conflicts between Albanian rebels and the Serbian
military, making Kosovo a virtual UN protectorate.
While Kosovo's political elite, including President Fatmir Sejdiu
and Prime Minister Agim Ceku, have already confirmed their presence
in Vienna on Saturday, Serbian President Boris Tadic is the only
Serbian official thus far to confirm his intent to attend the final,
high-level meeting.
Once the discussions have ended, Ahtisaari is expected to complete
the final version of his Kosovo status proposal and submit it to the
UN Security Council for approval.
