BELGRADE, June 26 (Hina) - The United States is confident that a compromise solution to the Kosovo issue has already been reached and that is a monitored independence, US Ambassador to Serbia Michael C. Polt said in Belgrade on

BELGRADE, June 26 (Hina) - The United States is confident that a
compromise solution to the Kosovo issue has already been reached and that is a
monitored independence, US Ambassador to Serbia Michael C. Polt said in
Belgrade on Tuesday, adding that the UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari's plan for
Kosovo was similar to the Marshall Plan because it offered a rational solution
to the problem. During a speech which he gave on the occasion of the
60th anniversary of the Marshall Plan, Polt said that the international
community would monitor the realisation of minority rights in Kosovo.
Polt called on Serbia to turn to the future by entirely solving the
issue of cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia and accepting Kosovo's independence.
The Marshall Plan is one of history's great success stories. On this
anniversary occasion, Ambassador Polt discussed the Marshall Plan's vision of a
European continent whole, free and at peace and the US commitment to seeing
Serbia become fully part of that vision and an integrated Europe.
