According to a press release issued by the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, Ambassador Wisner urged Belgrade "to play a constructive role in the ongoing negotiations to ensure a peaceful, democratic Kosovo that protects the rights of all its residents."
The U.S. diplomat met Serbia's President Boris Tadic, Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica and the Foreign Minister of the state union of Serbia-Montenegro, Vuk Draskovic.
According to a press release from the Office of the Serbian President, Tadic said that at this moment it was of vital importance for the Serb community in Kosovo to see that there was progress in the talks on the decentralisation of the province, and both the Serbian President and Ambassador Wisner expressed full support to the continuation of dialogue at the negotiations which teams from Belgrade and Pristina are holding in Vienna.
According to a statement released by the Serbian Government, Wisner pointed out the importance of the inclusion of Serb representatives in interim Kosovo institutions.
Kostunica and the U.S. official also stressed the importance of the full respect for human rights of the Serb and other non-Albanian communities in Kosovo.
Kostunica announced that he would soon present "a concrete proposal for the autonomy in accordance with European standards", and emphasised that a future status of Kosovo must be regulated in compliance with international law.
He cautioned that "the taking over of a part of internationally recognised territory" would set a dangerous precedent.
Over the weekend Wisner held talks with international representatives in Pristina as well as with Kosovo Albanian officials and local Serb representatives on the position of minorities, notably of the Serb community, and on the protection of the religious and cultural heritage.
