Although the troika had more or less given up on the possibility of reconciling the Kosovo Albanian demand for independence with Serbia's offer of broad autonomy, the envoys had hoped to at least strike a deal on regulating future ties between Belgrade and Pristina.
Mada je trojka više-manje digla ruke od mogućnosti pomirenja zahteva kosovskih Albanaca za nezavisnošću i ponude Srbije vezane za široku autonomiju, izaslanici su se nadali da će makar postići dogovor o uređenju budućih odnosa između Beograda i Prištine.
