Tadic Pledges to Explain Serbia's Position on Kosovo During US Visit By VOA News
05 September 2006 Serbian President Boris Tadic says that during his visit to Washington this week, he will seek to explain to U.S. officials his country's opposition to independence for Kosovo. Mr. Tadic told reporters Tuesday he will tell American officials that granting the Serbian province independence would threaten the security and stability of the entire Balkans. He called the current Kosovo situation the result of the Serbian government's disastrous policies in the 1990s. The Serbian leader spoke at a Belgrade news conference shortly before departing for the United States. Mr. Tadic is to meet in Washington with top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Vice President Dick Cheney as well as influential lawmakers. United Nations mediated talks between Serbian and Kosovo Albanian representatives on the future of the province have achieved no major progress. Kosovo's majority ethnic Albanians seek independence. Serbia insists on maintaining control over the province. Kosovo has been under U.N. administration since 1999, when NATO airstrikes drove Serbian and Yugoslav security forces from the province. http://www.voanews.com/english/CN-TADIC-05sept06.cfm =============== Group Moderator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] page at http://magazine.sorabia.net for more informations about current situation in Serbia http://www.sorabia.net Slusajte GLAS SORABIJE nas talk internet-radio (Serbian Only) http://radio.sorabia.net Yahoo!
