The negotiations could start in January? (Vecernje Novosti)
If Serbia immediately fulfil at least three of the 11 conditions that had come from the EU headquarters, the first negotiating chapter could be open at the end of January - learn Novosti.
According to the signals coming from Brussels and Berlin, if Belgrade in the coming weeks, remove the "Peace Park" on the bridge in Mitrovica, leave the hydro power plant "Gazivode" and substation "Valac" to Pristina and reach an agreement with Pristina about the phone code for Kosovo, in parallel, the chapter 35 would open, on the normalization of relations with Kosovo, and the 32, the financial control.
As things stand now, for a short time too difficult tasks, in order to find solutions, satisfactory to both Belgrade and Pristina.
According to Novosti, the talks on Telecommunications or area code number for Kosovo are at a standstill completely. Pristina refuses area code that Belgrade would give. They did not agree to a solution that Brussels has offered - Austria to apply before the International Telecommunication Union for the number, which then would be given to Kosovo.
- We are ready to a deal which would be in accordance with the rules of the International Telecommunication Union. But, along with Brussels, which mediates, we have four pages that must be complied - said Rasim Ljajic, Minister of Telecommunications.
Regarding the energy package, the municipality of Zubin Potok middle of last month, according to the Brussels agreement, founded the company "Elektrodistribucija Sever" (Electro power North). How its director Boban Novakovic explains, currently has a status of a company in establishment because the formation is not completed from "political reasons":
- From the Business Registration Agency of Kosovo we have not received any official response. The essential problem is the question of property, since the government in Pristina believes that substation Valac and ''Gazivode'' should be managed by them and it should be property of Kosovo. We, however, believe that the property issue is not resolved, and that it should be resolved in political talks.
When it comes to removing the "Peace Park", the head of the Parliamentary Committee for Kosovo Milovan Drecun said that this is not part of the Brussels Treaty:
- I do not know how it can be subsumed under the Implementation Agreement, when the park did not exist at the time of the Brussels Treaty.
