		The president of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, stated on Nov. 16 that the Serbian government's resolution on Kosovo represented the political option that had led to the break up of the former Yugoslavia and the fight for territory.
		Thaci said the ideas about conditional independence should be dismissed, because they have no legitimacy or legality, and are in contradiction to the political will of the citizens of Kosovo.
		He said "Pristina is prepared to secure more rights for the Serb citizens of Kosovo than Belgrade" and that "their future can be more secure in Pristina than it is now when they are being negatively influenced and manipulated by the present authorities in Belgrade."
