This is Serbia's most important national issue

Kosovo's status is Serbia's most important national issue, in resolving which it could contribute to the formation of a national or state commission, is said in Belgrade, on the table that has had internal dialogue on Kosovo, initiated by Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq.

Representatives of the Institute for Social and humanitarian Science estimated that “internal dialogue” should not be limited in time, and that the proposed solution should satisfy both the Serbian side and the Albanian side, writes today “Koha Ditore”.

One of the participants on the table, where there were 50 experts from 22 institutions, Momcilo Pavlovic from the Institute for Contemporary History, has said there is no single and quick solution.

Misa Djurdovic from the Institute for European Studies during the discussion rejected the idea of demarcation or partitioning Kosovo, while Vojislav Pavlovic from Serbia's Balkan Academy of Sciences and Arts Institute has said that <x0 seedy for territory should be taken care of for the”.

Participants have expressed different positions on historical developments in Kosovo and on current reports. This has also been the conclusion of officials who have participated in the task force's chief co-operative for supporting internal dialogue, Marko Djuric, Education Minister Mladen Sharchevic, and Serbian President Nikola Selakovic's Secretary General.

“We have heard diametrically opposing positions”, Djuric said. “This is the quality of this discussion and I think that we can learn a lot from it”.

On October 16th, the Government of Serbia has formed the working group with the goal of offering support to domestic dialogue for Kosovo. Turnout has been supported by the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Academy of Sciences and Arts, civil society and a part of the opposition.

The solution, which should be the result of internal dialogue, according to President Aleksandar Vuciq's words, should be formulated farther away in March 2018.
