Serb leader seeks talks on Kosovo
Belgrade - Serbia's president is to invite Kosovo's pro-independence leader for the first direct talks on the disputed province's future, the president's office said yesterday.
The unprecedented talks would include Serbia's President Boris Tadic and Kosovo's President Ibrahim Rugova. There was no immediate response from Mr Rugova.
The announcement came after talks in Belgrade with the Contact Group, which includes the US, the EU, Russia, France, Italy, Germany and Britain.
Kosovo has been run by the UN and Nato-led peacekeepers since 1999, when Nato planes halted a Serb crackdown on ethnic Albanian separatists.
Belgrade said on Monday it would accept a "compromise solution" for Kosovo but not independence.
Serbs consider Kosovo an integral part of their country, but its ethnic Albanian majority wants complete independence.
