Ljubljana, March 15 (MIA) - Slovenia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs obviously hasn't given up on the idea to convene all Western Balkan leaders at a conference on March 20, for the first time in 18 years, says Ministry's spokesman Uros Makovec.

The spokesman laconically said that "a solution to the problem is being sought."

Slovenian PM Borut Pahor has said that it was uncertain whether the March forum would take place, since there was still no solution involving the participation of a Kosovo delegation, which would please both Belgrade and Pristina.

Serb President Boris Tadic has said Serbia would take part "in all regional forums where Kosovo's presence is treated in line with the UN Resolution 1244."

- This also applies to the regional forum in Kranj, he said, referring to the conference planned for later this month in Slovenia.

- Those principles are more than clear, and not subject to change. Serbia will not participate in any regional forum that has no respect for UN principles, which includes respect of Resolution 1244, Tadic has stated.

The problem between Belgrade and Pristina involves the manner in which the names of the countries, invited at the conference, will be presented. Serbia disputes the independence of Kosovo and as a result insists the name Kosovo to include 'UNMIK" or "1244". ba/fd/20:16
