Osim ekonomskih aspekata, poput finansijskih obaveza i investicija, dugova, privatizacije i budućeg vlasništva nad ključnim industrijskim dobrima, u bečkim razgovorima nije obrađivano pitanje osnovnog statusa do sedme runde 24. jula, kad su lideri Srbije i kosovskih Albanaca održali svoje prvo zasjedanje licem u lice.
Apart from economic aspects, such as liabilities and investments, debts, privatisation, and the future ownership of key industrial assets, the Vienna talks did not address the core status issue until the seventh round on July 24th, when Serbian and Kosovo Albanian leaders held their first face-to-face session.
