Contact Group Meets On Future Status Of Kosovo

July 26, 2007

(RFE/RL)

July 26, 2007 -- Representatives of the Contact Group on Kosovo have
met to discuss how to restart talks between Serbia and the Serbian province's
ethnic-Albanian majority.

Talks on the future of Kosovo shifted to the Contact Group after Russia expressed doubts about a UN plan to grant Kosovo supervised independence.

The Contact Group includes the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

Diplomats said one idea discussed on July 25 in Vienna would be for U.S., Russian, and EU mediators initially to shuttle between Belgrade and Pristina, Kosovo's capital.
