Although pleased with the significant changes made, the Serbian delegation still refused to vote in favor of the resolution. Head of the delegation Miloš Aligrudić (Democratic Party of Serbia) said that changing Article 6, stating that the CoE believed that talks had been exhausted and that it was time for an imposed solution, had been a success.

Fellow delegation member Dragoljub Mićunović from the Democratic Party was also pleased: “A very important amendment has been adopted which avoids defining status, and leaves responsibility in the hands of the Security Council, but which has also shown something else – a very big difference of opinion as far as the Kosovo problem is concerned. Many delegates have changed their earlier view, and are now against unilateral recognition.”
