Serb and Kosovar leaders reluctantly met Monday for the first time since NATO bombs drove Serb forces out of the Albanian-majority province in 1999.
A UN envoy called the meeting, in the officially neutral city of Vienna, to try to make progress on Kosovo’s future status: Kosovars want independence and Serbia opposes division.
Postmeeting statements made clear that the two sides are far apart and cast doubt on a negotiated solution. Kosovars and Serbs refused to appear together at the news conference after the meeting; each held their own briefing.
