"Serbia dhe Kosova duhet te normalizojnë marrëdhëniet sa me shpejt, ne mënyre qe BE ta ketë me te lehte te ndërhyje me pas. Por pavarësisht kësaj, Serbia duhet te heqë dore përfundimisht nga veriu i Kosovës, atë nuk do ta marre kurrë". Ky ka qene reagimi i kryeministrit te Kosoves Hashim Thaçi pas takimit ne New York me shefen e diplomacisë evropiane, Catherine Ashton, një dite pas deklaratës se homologut te tij serb Ivica Daçiç për bisedime ne nivele te larta politike. Ne një interviste për "Associated Press", Thaçi u shpreh i hapur për rinisjen e negociatave me Serbinë, por kërkoi nga vendi fqinj qe se pari te plotësoje ne praktike marrëveshjet e arritura me pare ne Bruksel.

But despite that, Serbia should withdraw from northern Kosovo, eventually, it will not ever take. "This has been the reaction of the Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaci after the meeting in New York with the head of European diplomacy, Catherine Ashton, a day after the declaration of his Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic for talks at the highest political levels. In an interview for the "Associated Press", Thaci said he was open to resuming negotiations with Serbia, but urged the neighboring country to first fill in practice the agreements reached earlier in Brussels. Kosovo at meetings in New York has strictly implemented the decisions taken months ago in Brussels, among which the presentation in meetings with senior officials without placing Kosovo flag on the negotiating table.
