WASHINGTON (AP) ? Kosovo's prime minister says integration is the only option he will accept for his country's aggrieved Serb population. Speaking after meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton this week, Hashim Thaci rejected calls for greater autonomy for Serb communities in Kosovo's north.
He also told The Associated Press on Friday that he never would consider a territorial swap with Serbia as a solution.
"There will be no territorial swap, there will be no autonomy, no special favors. There will be only integration
Thaci said he would like to have Kosovo's border open, but he added: "There will be no change of the border."
Kosovo once was a province of Serbia and declared independence in 2008, which Belgrade and many Serbs who live in Kosovo's north still vehemently reject.
