Vecernje Novosti: Vucic rejected "US package" for Kosovo (RTS, Vecernje Novosti)
Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports, quoting Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, that the president of Serbia allegedly did not want to introduce the public with a working document related to resolving the Kosovo problem, assessing it as "unworthy of attention and unacceptable for Serbia".
According to Novosti, representatives of Kosovo and Serbia were presented with four pillars of the historic agreement:
1. The community of Serb municipalities receives wider executive powers and enhanced competencies in the fields of health, education and culture.
2. The community would be closely linked to the vice-president of the Kosovo government coming from the ranks of the Serbian people.
3. Belgrade is expected to enable Pristina to join international organizations, primarily the UN.
4. If the Serbian side agrees to the package, Serbia would be allowed to join the European Union, and the United States would guarantee its broader economic and diplomatic support in the international political arena.
Novosti wrote that Western powers expect of Serbia, in return for the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), not to block Kosovo's membership in the UN. Novosti writes that this "offer" was unacceptable and illogical, and that Vucic for the same reasons did not consider it.
