Beta, 5 February 2012 Former Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe Coordinator Erhard Busek has stated that Kosovo and Serbia should start talking about partition. Busek told Priština-based Kohavision TV that this would be the best solution that would allow Kosovo to be recognized by Serbia and five EU member states that still had not recognized its independence. He also proposed an exchange of territory so that “the Preševo Valley is annexed to Kosovo and northern Kosovo to Serbia”, which would in his opinion, provide a sustainable solution for the Balkans. “I am convinced in the end that the partition is a solution if nothing else is possible,” Busek noted. He added that favorable conditions for the continuation of the Belgrade-Priština dialogue would be created after the elections in Serbia.
