Serbia considers as absolutely unacceptable the requests from the EU draft platform for Chapter 35 which covers Kosovo in the accession negotiations, because most of the points are not status neutral and entail recognition of the province's independence, Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said on Sunday.
We consider the requests unacceptable. The (Belgrade-Pristina) dialogue is status neutral and anything beyond that is unacceptable for us, and I am convinced that the same is true of the EU countries that have not recognised Kosovo, Dacic said in an interview for the Belgrade-based daily Kurir.

He specified that Serbia considers it unacceptable for the dialogue to be conducted by Serbia and Kosovo instead of Belgrade and Pristina, or for administrative crossings to be replaced with border crossings with accompanying signs.
