Posjeta britanskog diplomate uslijedila je nakon što je srbijanska opozicija na čelu s bivšim premijerom Vojislavom Koštunicom vladu optužila da vodi tajne pregovore o EULEX-u kojima bi se pripomoglo nezavisnosti Kosova.
The British diplomat's visit came as the Serbian opposition, led by former Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica, accused the government of conducting secret talks on EULEX that would aid Kosovo's independence.
