"Priština told Kosovo will not join UN"


SOURCE: TANJUG
PRIŠTINA -- Kosovo will not become a member of the United Nations, the Priština-based Albanian language daily Tribuna is quoting unnamed diplomatic sources as saying.

 

According to the report published on Wednesday, Priština was told this "in clear terms."

The authorities there have been told to give up on that goal "in this phase of the dialogue with Belgrade," the daily said, and added that this was interpreted as "a painful compromise" for Priština.

According to the newspaper, Kosovo's inability to join the UN "is reminiscent of the status of Taiwan" - which declared independence, but is "internationally" still a part of China.
