EU official says the UN Security Council will have to decide on the Kosova status if there is no agreement.
The EU diplomat stressed that the solution to the Kosova status is not a precondition for Serbias integration with the EU. Meantime, Serbian officials are preparing for a visit to the Security Council. Prime Ministers advisor Aleksandar Simić said the PMs addressing of the Security Council and his visit to Washington should represent the peak of his recent diplomatic activity, Beta reports.

Simić told the Danas daily that KoÅ¡tunica should present the Serbian platform for Kosova autonomy and Serbias position regarding Vienna talks. The prime minister should also give a detailed explanation of the joint proposal authored by him and the Serbian president Boris Tadić submitted to the Contact Group member states, UN Secretary General and his Special Envoy to Kosova, Marti Ahtisaari, Simić said. President and prime ministers new idea is that the talks in their present form, started with considering daily issues, defined as talks on status neutral questions, have so far not yielded results, Simić said.

Simić added that, beside the status talks that are scheduled to start in July, Vienna talks questions will not be disregarded. Those are the vital questions when it comes to human rights, above all pertaining to Serbs, but also the provinces other non-Albanians. These are also vitally important questions for the State of Serbia, bearing in mind our desire that all our citizens, especially those who see Serbia as their country, feel safe, Simić was quoted.

Simić also said that it is at present impossible to say that Belgrade proposals have been accepted in their entirety or that our diplomatic activity yields complete results, and that all this will be clearer in the near future. But, what is clear now, is that there is no longer the confidence, above all that of Ahtisaari himself and his team, that all the issues depend on them, including the methodology and the deadlines, and if you will, the talks outcome. That initial and very flawed idea that Ahtisaari and his team had during talks themselves, has been, I daresay, mostly altered, Simić said.
