"I would be happy to go to Pristina for discussions with [my] Albanian colleagues," Tadic said, adding that direct negotiations, whether in Pristina or in Belgrade, were the most effective way of settling problems.
Tadic told a news conference in the Russian capital that Russia had been playing an important role in resolving the issue.
"Russia should announce its standpoint on the status of Kosovo. I believe Russia will take a constructive position on the issue," he said referring to the upcoming discussions on the final status of Kosovo at the UN Security Council.
Tadic said he supported the decentralization of judicial and law enforcement systems in Kosovo, along with education and healthcare, since the Serbian minority population in Kosovo should be allowed to make decisions independently from central authorities, but at the same time, he said Serbian and Albanian authorities in Kosovo should work on improving relations.
