NEW YORK -- Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremić told Tanjug on Tuesday that negotiations on Kosovo are possible only within the framework of the UNSC Resolution 1244.

Another condition for such discussions would be that they are held in a transparent manner, said Serbia's chief of diplomacy.

Serbia has always advocated resolving the Kosovo problem through peaceful dialogue, that should result in a compromise based on international law, Jeremić said.

This is the only way to secure lasting and sustainable regional stability, he added.

“However, such negotiations can be held only within the framework of the UN Security Counicl Resolution 1244 and in a transparent manner, in keeping with the democratic mandate the Serbian government has received from its citizens,” Jeremić emphasized.

He was referring to reports that the international community is preparing for a resumption of negotiations between Belgrade and Priština.

“It is crucial for Serbia not to react to provocations and pressures, which are expected to grow,” he said.

“Serbia must remain committed to principles and keep calm, with a clear vision how to pursue the resolving of the Kosovo problem,” he said.

Jeremić is currently New York, attending the conference on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons at UN headquarters.
