Picture of the Day - Serbian and Kosovo Culture Ministers Met For the First Time

Dragan Kojadinovic, the Serb minister (Right) and Kosovo's culture minister, Astrit Haracia (Left) met today for the first time in Belgrade. The meeting in Belgrade comes amid stepped-up contacts between the two ethnically divided sides, ahead of U.N.-mediated negotiations on Kosovo's final status expected later this year.

Yes, like a relaxed midget I would say.

The very relaxed minister looks like someone you can't trust

This is the Serbs trying to fix their image after the meeting where their minister refused to shake hands with an Albanian.

You kinda expect your culture minister to be better cultured than your average joe, or am I expecting too much?

Prince,

It may be true, or it may not (that he is a monster), but why not look at it this way.

Our Culture Minister made a visit to our dear neighbour, Serbia, as a Minister, in full capacity as a state official.

To me, this smells like Serbia acknowledging Kosovar independence :)

Keep smelling because this a great PR stunt for the Serbs. The Serbs are reaching out the only things the albanians are saying is independence. Makes the albanians look stubborn and not willing to compromise.

That is bad when it comes to negotiating

Serbia is not in position to negotiate. They lost a War against the international community, NATO which backed the Albanian side. No negotiations were made with the NAZIS after they lost WWII. Thus the negotiations will involve the international community and the Albanian side. Serbs will be there to put their signature after Albanians, EU and the US have finished their talking.
