The OSCE chair, Finland is against any further talks on Kosovo's status. "There will be no new talks," Finnish Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva said after a meeting with his German counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

For his part, Mr Steinmeier commented, "It's important that the EU hasn't lost Serbian democratic forces' support for implementing Ahtisaari's plan. EU initial association agreement with Serbia would contribute to this process," Deutsche Welle reports.

Kosovo leaders intend to proclaim independence in the near future. With Russia's support, Serbia strongly opposes such a scenario and insists on continuation of talks.
