Serbia rejects framework for "independent" Kosovo

Mon Nov 5, 12:36 PM ET

A framework drafted by mediators for the future of Kosovo defines the province's independence from Serbia and is "completely unacceptable," Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica said on Monday.

"The 14 points as they stand now mean a relationship between two independent states," Kostunica told a news conference after a fourth round of talks with leaders of the Kosovo Albanian majority in Vienna.

The mediating trio from the United States, Russia and the European Union insist the points do not prejudice the outcome of talks, but present potential areas of common ground.
