Beograd se prvobitno borio protiv raspoređivanja te misije, ali sad kaže da je ono moguće uz tri uslova -- da misiju odobri Vijeće sigurnosti UN-a, da ona bude neutralna po pitanju statusa Kosova i da ne provodi plan bivšeg izaslanika UN-a Marttija Ahtisaarija kojim se predviđa nezavisnost Prištine od Srbije.
Belgrade initially fought the mission's deployment but now says it is possible on three conditions -- that the UN Security Council approves the mission, that it be neutral on the status of Kosovo and that it does not implement the plan of former UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari, which envisions Pristina's independence from Serbia.
