Koštunica: Serbia is committed to a democratic solution for Kosovo's future status
"Serbia is committed to a democratic solution for Kosovo's future status which will be based on the three pillars that form the foundations of Europe: human rights, democracy and the rule of law," Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Koštunica said in his address to the Assembly on 2 October.

Mr Koštunica said that Serbia's goal was to "secure development and prosperity of the ethnic Albanian minority and of the whole country through a negotiated democratic settlement."

He added: "violent and unilateral solutions would seriously endanger peace and stability and jeopardize not only the Balkans but the entire international order," the CoE communication unit reports.
