One is to grant broad autonomy with many powers, but not independence to the southern Serbian province. Another is to give it "autonomous judiciary."
Especially interesting is the part related to northern Kosovo, which should be treated in accordance with the Constitution of Serbia, while the rest of Kosovo's territory - that is, outside the future community of Serb municipalities - "should have the treatment that ethnic Albanians had during the existence of Yugoslavia (SFRJ)."
Regardless of this information, neither the government nor the presidency wished to comment on the text of the platform. The same is true of the ruling SNS party.
"You're very persistent, I appreciate that, but I would like you to tell me your opinion about the snow that will fall on Friday. Neither I nor you know that and I cannot talk about something until I see it in writing," said head of the SNS parliamentary group Zoran Babic.
"It is known that Albanians want full independence of Kosovo, and that Serbia will not agree to that," commented Goran Bogdanovic, a former minister for Kosovo.
He added that this would be the 13th declarative document adopted, while according to him, "after each Serbs are worse off and fewer."
"In particular this applies to the situation during the talks in Vienna where we offered more than autonomy but less than independence, and they refused. Going back to that period and the Constitution of 1974 is ridiculous and a waste of time," said Bogdanovic.
While drafting the platform, the president said that he would "not write what the government is unable to carry out."
Nikolic and the government previously had differences over Kosovo and Metohija when he in late 2012 proposed a platform that included the formulation, "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed."
Now that the new platform has been sent to the prime minister, it should be adopted by the government and then sent to parliament for adoption.
