France, Italy, Russia for the exchange of territories, Germany, Britain and the US v.

The exchange of territories as a compromise for the final solution between Kosovo and Serbia has received support even to some relevant countries of world decision-making. Days earlier, the Serbian newspaper Danas, a pro-Western access paper, had reported that from its well-informed diplomatic sources in Brussels had learned that France and Italy, along with Russia, are pro-comparing territories between Kosovo and Serbia, as a final solution between the two states, which would result in mutual recognition.

In this case, Kosovo would give Serbia the northern part of the country, while taking the Presevo Valley -- territories for which the last few days, President Hashim Thaci is openly saying they will join Kosovo.

However, against such a solution, it is learned to be Germany and Great Britain.

According to diplomatic sources, the United States of America is also generally opposed to the exchange of territories, but these sources argue that America should be expected until more directly engage in negotiations on the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, and then can consider its position on the idea.

Germany and Great Britain, behind these sources, strongly oppose changing borders in the region, and maintain that Serbia should suffice to pave the way for membership in the European Union.

In the negotiations so far in Brussels, the Kosovo side's stance has been that the final agreement should be with mutual recognition of the two states, and Serbia change its Constitution, removing Kosovo, which it considers part of its territory. On the other hand, Serbia is seeking Kosovo's north as a compromise solution.

However, Pristina has so far offered only the Association of Serbian municipalities, and not in opposition to the country's constitution.

These diplomatic sources in Brussels have said that this association will not be similar to the Bosnian Serb Republic, but will only guarantee Serbs additional rights for education, municipal and similar administration that are already known for the opinion.

These diplomatic sources say the idea of exchange of territories opened nearly a year ago, and included in this is Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has had frequent contacts with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

The southern Albanians of Serbia, or as the Presevo Valley is known, live in deep poverty, and the area has been deliberately left undeveloped by the Serbian state. Albanians there are for joining Kosovo, and they have expressed this even with a referendum in the 1990s. / Journal.net
