Svilanovic told Belgrade's Radio B92 on Thursday Germany was leading a
policy favouring the independence of Kosovo and that it was not alone
in this.
"Germany's participation in the Kosovo crisis is a big topic, and at
this moment it is evident that our interests are not the same as
theirs," Svilanovic said.
He added that Germany and Serbia needed to resume talks on this issue,
"but the positions have to be clearer than before". "I think Germany
is not speaking only on its behalf. In talks I held in recent years I
noticed a determination in the advocacy of Kosovo's independence. This
is my evaluation of their policy, but they won't agree and will see
what I'm saying now as dramatic," he said.
Svilanovic stressed that Germany was Serbia-Montenegro's biggest trade
partner, and said the two countries needed to nurture partner
relations. He expects Germany to change its position on Kosovo.
The German Foreign Ministry dismissed all of Svilanovic's claims.
