United States Ambassador in Pristina Christopher Dell has stated that Kosovo Premier Hasim Taci is prepared to offer to the north of Kosovo a kind of autonomy, already implemented in regions of Belgium, Austria and other Western European countries, Pristina press report.

The north of Kosovo is of a "specific nature," and Taci is prepared to find a "creative" way to resolve the issue, U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo Christopher Dell said during his meeting with journalists in Washington, when he commented on the opinion of the ICJ.

"What I have heard him say publicly in Kosovo on many occasions - publicly at least once and many occasions in private - is that within the context of a EU that consists of many regions and is recognized as such, he is prepared to look creatively at ways in which the special nature of the north of Kosovo can be accommodated within the boundaries of the unitary state of Kosovo, but given - recognizing that in the Europe of the 21st century there is room for special status - not status, that's the wrong word - special nature of regions within single countries.

To be less cryptic, we're referring here to regional arrangements such as exist in Belgium, South Tyrol, many parts of Europe," told reporters.
