Jovanovic: Serbia should accept Kosovo's independence


Ceda Jovanovic, ex-vice of the killed prime minister Zoran Djindijic, proposes a constitutional contract between Serbia and Kosovo, which would recognize the latter’s sovereignty, while the Serb minority in Kosova would have the veto for any change in the constitution. "Serbs of Kosovo must also have a voice in education, justice, and police and a guaranteed number of representatives in the parliament. Until the fulfillment of these requests, Kosovo should have a conditional independence" he told Belgrade daily Danas. He says the current government leaders in Belgrade are in the trap of “Greater Serbia” nationalism and accuses them that through “fake patriotism” they are hindering the development of Serbia. Jovanovic calls Vienna negotiations “a political farce,” representing a dialogue between the deaf. (RFE-Danas)
