Serbian President Boris Tadic said on Friday that the resolution on Kosovo that Belgrade presented to the UN General Assembly is a constructive document, which is consistent with the interests of the EU, adding that this has been confirmed by the European Commission.

At the National Park Tara, western Serbia, Tadic told reporters that while drafting the resolution, Serbia consulted European partners regarding the content and tone of the resolution, and that the text satisfied the European Commission and the vast majority of EU member states.

Serbia has all the time been in contact with its European friends, since this country should be a predictable partner. Serbia should build a genuine partnership with the EU without any surprises, Tadic said, stressing that the resolution was written by Serbia alone, which means that there was no joint work on the document.

According to Tadic, except for a few statements of a number of ambassadors in Belgrade, no European government official has protested against the resolution that was submitted to the UN General Assembly.

Serbia has no intention, or interest, to get into conflict with the international community, but, like any other country, it has lines it cannot cross, Tadic said, expressing his conviction that Serbia's last line is ultimately in keeping with international community interests too.

Passing the resolution in the UN General Assembly will not be an easy job, and if Serbia succeeds in having it passed, it will be a great success, he said.

Through its approach, Serbia is not fanning passions, but contributing to a peaceful and sober solution through dialogue, in which each side will get something and lose something, Tadic noted.

Serbia is, obviously, aware of the fact that perhaps two million Kosovo Albanians do not wish to accept Serbia's constitutional order, he said.

However, the world must be aware of the fact that Kosovo Serbs do not wish to accept the sovereignty of the so-called state of Kosovo, he said.

It is within that framework that a solution should be sought that would secure peace and development, Tadic said.

In drafting the resolution, Serbia has honored the procedure agreed with the European Commission, but has hurried to submit it to the UN GA in order to avoid being overtaken by a resolution of Kosovo Albanians, he said.

Information was obtained that Kosovo Albanians intend to submit their own resolution to the UN GA and Serbia could not take the risk to be second, because if the first resolution is adopted, the second one does not come up for the vote, Tadic said.

Serbia could not allow the possibility of its resolution not being discussed at all, he said.
