Serbia has submitted to the UNMIK a plan envisaging the factual division of Kosovo into cantons along ethnic lines, the Tanjug Agency reported.

The news that the plan was submitted by Serbia's Minister for Kosovo and Metohija Slobodan Samardzic was confirmed by the UNMIK spokesman Georgi Kakuk.

The suggestions were forwarded to the UN Headquarters in New York because in Kakuk's word, UNMIK did not have the power to decide on them.

Belgrade suggests that only Serbs and no Albanians should work in the police, courts, and customs services in the Kosovo enclaves with a Serbian majority. The document also states that Serbia recognized the jurisdiction of the UN in Kosovo.

According to publications in the Serbian press, the plan that suggesting all Serbian enclaves, and not just the northern town of Kosovska Mitrovica, should be under Belgrade's authority was prepared independently by Samardzic without the knowledge and agreement of the whole government.
