How can you not recognize and demand autonomy???
After more than 12 hours of debate,
parliament adopted a resolution calling for broad autonomy for ethnic
Serbs within the legal framework of Kosovo - implicit recognition of the
authority of the Kosovo government over its entire territory.
One
analyst called the resolution a "milestone", but hardline Serbian
nationalists accused the government of betrayal at the behest of the
European Union, which has said membership talks for Serbia depend on
improved relations with Kosovo.
"Belgrade
never before accepted Pristina's jurisdiction over Serb-held northern
Kosovo," said Marko Prelec of the Brussels-based International Crisis
Group think-tank.
The resolution
reiterates that Serbia will never recognize the country of 1.7 million
people as independent, but Dacic warned on Saturday that Belgrade could
no longer afford "to keep its head in the sand".
"Serbian
sovereignty over Kosovo is practically non-existent," he told
lawmakers, saying Serbs in Kosovo needed institutions of government that
would be recognized by all sides, including Kosovo Albanians.
