SKOPJE -- Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Ivica Dačić has said that Kosovo PM Hashim Thaci’s statement that all Albanians should live in one state could cause problems.

“I am not interested in which state Albanians are going to live but Serbs need to have the same rights,” he said at the Ninth Annual Ministerial Conference on Cooperation in the Field of Border Security in Southeast Europe in Skopje on Friday.
Thaci said in Priština that it would be “best and easiest” for Albanians to live in a single state if borders in the Balkans changed.
Dačić said the Kosovo PM was “international community’s pet” who could therefore act accordingly, stressing that if a Serbian official gave such a statement, the UN Security Council would discuss it.
The Serbian deputy prime minister added that the provisional authorities in Kosovo should take part in regional conferences but that a footnote must be written under Kosovo’s name on nameplates, in accordance with the agreement on regional representation that was reached by Belgrade and Priština.
Commenting on Thaci’s statement, an unnamed EU official said that borders in the Western Balkans were unchangeable.
