No UN vote on Kosovo; Serb-Kosovo talks to resume

UNITED NATIONS, July 20 (Reuters) The United States and Europeans have decided not to call a UN Security Council vote on Kosovo's future status and instead will initiate talks between Belgrade and Pristina, Britain and the United States said today.

In view of Russia's opposition, Britain's UN Ambassador Emyr Jones Parry told reporters before Council consultations that ''there is not much point putting the resolution forward'' unless Russia changes its mind at the last minute.
