"The transfer from one phase to another is not simple," Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said in response to the UN Security Council decision. "The framework for resolving the final status of Kosovo lies within the very foundation of the UN, which is respect of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states." Political forces in Serbia have united against the idea of Kosovo independence, and Kostunica's team will be bringing its formula of "less than independence, more than autonomy" to the negotiating table.
“Prelazak sa jedne na drugu fazu nije jednostavan”, rekao je premijer Srbije Vojislav Koštunica u odgovoru na odluku Saveta bezbednosti UN. “Okvir za rešavanje konačnog statusa Kosova leži u samim temeljima UN, a to su poštovanje teritorijalnog integriteta i suvereniteta svih država.” Političke snage u Srbiji ujedinile su se protiv ideje o nezavisnom Kosovu, a Koštuničin tim će za pregovaračkim stolom zastupati formulu “manje od nezavisnosti, više od autonomije”.
