U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Fried said in Pristina today that all politicians should abandon what he called "slogans [and] angry words" in order to help resolve questions about Kosovo's future status.
Fried also praised a United Nations proposal on Kosovo's future status as a "balanced package" that "gives something to both sides."
Fried's remarks come ahead of UN-mediated talks on March 10 about the status of Serbia's predominantly ethnic Albanian province.
