Serbian media again come up with options for resolving Kosovo problem

Today, Belgrade's “blic” has again presented “all scenarios for this solution”. According to her, there are five scenarios: Division, normalisation, border correction, exchange of territories and status quo.

This year, the paper writes, by the international community has been designated crucial for resolving the Kosovo problem, Serbia, and as the first option mentions the partitioning of Kosovo, which appears to be Serbia's well-placed “from Kosovo”.

A positive part of this <x0 selection” is mentioned in “the factor” that Serbia returns control to the north of Kosovo where Serbs are majority, while as negative it mentions the future status of the Serb community in the south of Ibri as this part is not included in this division.

According to the paper, Coha.net broadcasts, Kosovo in this case would remove special rights from Serbs, including major local management competencies, guaranteed seats in Parliament and necessary participation in Government.

It is estimated that this idea is difficult to implement, because immediately after the end of the war in 1999 there has been much opposition from the international community and that they still remain.

The second option is cited as normalisation, the agreement for comprehensive normalisation respectively, meant formal recognition of Kosovo's independence in international institutions.

On the positive side of this solution, says “blic”, it would be the preservation of its unique Serb community and cultural heritage in Kosovo under a broad autonomous and special ties with Serbia, while the negative side is that Serbia in the final agreement would earn a little bit more than what it had won with the first agreement, and that is the Community of Serbian Communities.

The big question, according to the paper, is whether Kosovo will respect the autonomy of Serbs after its membership in the United Nations and other international institutions.

Correcting the borders is “resolution” mentioned at the latest and would be “satis smaller territorialisation than is the division of Kosovo “.

Under this option, the first option would be for Kosovo to return to the borders of 1953, which means that Serbia takes control of most or the entire surface of Leposaviqi, and the solution itself implies that Kosovo has control of all Mitrovica and Wyman.

The advantage of this solution is cited as fax that Kosovo's north would always remain compact with two municipalities, as well as with Mitrovica as an urban centre that could receive the status of the particular district.

The other border correction variable offers a greater territorial whole, and according to the paper, the two solutions, as well as in the event of partition, strategically preserve Kopolonic, as well as the softer Central Serbia “barku of”.

The correction would mean that in the resources of Trepca and Wyman, Serbs and Albanians have joint management or privatisation by agreement, but under the Kosovo system.

As “selection”, the fourth is highlighted in the exchange of territories that would be done according to ethnic principle. This solution, it says, precedes the historic agreement between Serbs and Albanians because, they say, reconciliation is possible only with ethnic restraint.

Nevertheless, it is stressed that in this scenario many issues would remain open, while the first of these would be: What is the real victory for Serbia and the Serbs in Kosovo.

And in the end, the fifth scenario is left in the same status quo. This, the paper says, is their proposal that the solution this year is an undesirable option.

The first negative consequence of statuskvo is that Kosovo Albanians will not accept Serbia their state and, under changed geopolitical circumstances, they will reinforce its society as well as political union with Albania.
