Koen's "revelation"

We have been told that so far Vienna talks have been all about technical issues, issues that wouldn't make a difference no matter what the status of Kosovo will be. However, in an article subtitled "Blame the Albanian side," B92 writes:

Belgrade delegation member Leon Koen said that the Priština team and its stance that Kosovo independence is a “done deal” is the main reason for the lack of progress in the discussions so far.

Koen isn't just anybody. He along with Samardic are the brains behind the Serb delegation strategy. So if the two delegations were supposed to be talking and reaching an agreement only on technical issues, why does Koen blame the stance of the Albanians on what is supposed to be a future discussion topic?

I can undestand the Serb strategy to push through the status talks early on, as I already commented here. Though that is tricky since Serbia might be left with neither technical results nor status results. I hope that Serb delegation's Game Theory practices will reveal this possible outcome to them. Or maybe they've run the Game as promised but the value they have attached to the future of K-Serbs was just to low to matter as an alternative.


Update:

Another good article from B92. Among the revelations from Rohan:

I think it will be an important meeting. Both sides wanted it, they now have it and this leads us into the new phase of the negotiations”, Rohan told the BBC.

Later,

“We haven’t concluded the technical part of the negotiations. One of the issues – true community – has not even been addressed, because neither side showed any desire to discuss it. We only touched on the economic problems once, at the beginning. Therefore it is our proposal that we work on practical issues, with a new momentum, after the status talks”, Rohan concluded.
