The new coalition government is expected to be in office during talks on Kosovo's final status, which could begin in mid-2005 if the province achieves substantial progress in meeting UN-set benchmarks in areas such as the rule of law, minority rights and dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade.
Očekuje se da će nova koaliciona vlada biti na vlasti tokom razgovora o konačnom statusu Kosova, koji bi mogli početi sredinom 2005. godine, pod uslovom da pokrajina ostvari značajan napredak u ispunjavanju standarda koje su odredile UN, a koji uključuju vladavinu zakona, prava manjina i dijalog Beograda i Prištine.
