PMs meet Serbian President

According to a Slovenian source, this past Friday Slovenia and Croatia's Prime Ministers (Borut Pahor and Jadranka Kosor) were planned to meet with President of Serbia Boris Tadic to discuss a previously planned conference on EU integration of Balkan states. The conference was devised in January by Croatia and Slovenia to be held March 20 in Ptuj, a Slovenian city near the border of Croatia.

[How comfortable will this placement make Kosovo and Serbia feel? One could suppose the conference is placed there due to the proximity to Europe]

However, problems arose when both Tadic and Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu were both expected to attend the meeting. Serbia's official possition is that if Sejdiu appears as President, it could not be in attendence. But, if Sejdiu comes as a representative of the United Nations' administration in Kosovo (UNMIK), Serbia would be present.

Serbia reported Sejdiu would attend as President. According to Slovenia, it was still up for debate whether Serbia would attend the meeting.

Is this claim true? Or, is Serbia just stirring up trouble . . . as always.
