Ivica Dacic, Serbia’s Foreign Minister, said on Wednesday a boundary with Kosovo was not an official suggestion but an idea among state leaders, correcting his statement from Tuesday when he said demarcation would be Serbia’s official proposal to resolve the Kosovo issue, the Beta news agency reported.

He said that if the idea became the official suggestion it would be presented to the Parliament and the citizens would have a final say on a referendum.

Dacic added he was in favour of the demarcation, that President Aleksandar Vucic spoke about it last year and that “it is not something that is whispered about or discussed in secret meetings.”

He called on those who had different ideas to come out and suggest them.

“That issue has not been discussed in the dialogue with Pristina (on normalisation of relations) which is on hold, but we are open for other suggestions and compromises. But, have you heard any other proposal,” Dacic told reporters.

He added it was interesting that along with Kosovo’s Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, Serbia’s opposition parties (nationalist movement) Dveri, the Popular Party leader Vuk Jeremic, Sanda Raskovic Ivic, a deputy to the Parliament, current Serbia’s Minister Nenad Popovic and some analysts also objected the demarcation idea.

Dacic said the previous authorities left behind the Constitution with a preamble stating Kosovo was a part of Serbia, while during their rule Kosovo declared independence.

“What did they do? Did they declare occupation of the country or move the army,” Dacic said.
