European Project Director at Vienna Institute for Human Sciences, Ivan Vejvoda, said that exchange of territories, Presevo valley for the north of Kosovo, could be a realistic solution if Belgrade and Pristinta would agree to that, and get support from the international community, UN, EU, USA, Russia and other permanent UN SC members, Novi Magazin reported.

Vejvoda, said that this idea now comes from Kosovo, and it was one of the three or four scenarios proposed by the assassinated Serbian Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic.

Foreign Minister late on Thursday assessed that Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli was acting "a little nervous."

The reason, Dacic said, was that not everything was going according to plan for Pristina.

"I get him - it's not really going as they have planned, as they have been promised, and as they have paid for. That's why they're saying stupidities and lies - that I said I would 'destroy the recognition of Kosovo', that the whole world is against Serbia and that we are destructive," Dacic told Tanjug, reacting to Pacolli's message posted on Facebook.
