Kosovo-Serbia, no agreement on implementation plan

The second day of the dialogue between Prishtina and Belgrade ended
without an agreement in Brussels. The countries’ representatives failed
to come up with a negotiation plan for the agreement of April 19th, and
this might bring even this case to a level of Ministers.

“It should be to a Prime Ministers level now that we have the impression that the Serbian side comes here just to lose our time and make it seem that they are being part of the dialogue, for the international partners. The agreement was signed three weeks ago and nothing has changed since then, besides the political rhetoric. We want to see tangible results on terrain”, declared Hajredin Kuci, Deputy Prime Minister of Kosovo.

According to the head of the Prishtina delegation, the requests of the Serbian delegation are unacceptable, such as the assets and the position of the Serbian Orthodox Church, or the integration of the Serbian communes in the local administration.

“We don’t have a mandate for these discussions and this is not what we must discuss. I seriously say that then we must talk also about the Presheva Valley, the Serbian Genocide, the Milloshevic’s area, the damages of the war and so forth. We all know what we should be talking about. We should talk about energy, telecommunication and the missing people, not about topics that are already closed”, Kuci underlined.

The Kosovo Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, also spoke about new meetings of a higher political level.

“There could be new meetings of a higher political level, so that the implementation can start as soon as possible, and so that we can change things on terrain. We also need to notify the public opinion and create the conditions and circumstances for law and order. We need the conditions for democracy, political organization and the functionality of all Kosovo institutions in every part of the territory”, declared Prime Minister Thaci.
