Some political analysts have said that the initialing of the agreement -- originally due in October, but postponed because of insufficient co-operation with the tribunal -- was meant to encourage the democratic bloc in Serbia as it grapples with the difficult issue of Kosovo's status.
Neki politički analitičari kazali su kako je parafiranje sporazuma -- koje se prvotno trebalo obaviti u listopadu, ali je odgođeno zbog nedovoljne suradnje s tribunalom -- imalo za cilj ohrabriti demokratski blok u Srbiji dok se hvata u koštac s teškim pitanjem statusa Kosova.
