“Serbia will wait three and a half months, as it has been said, for the statute of the ZSO (to be drafted) – but this will not happen,” Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said.
The President Vucic told the RTS on Wednesday that he will talk with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Federica Mogherini on Thursday, and that he expects “words of encouragement” from her.
He added that the main topic of their conversation will be the relationship between Belgrade and Pristina.
“We essentially talk about the relationship between Belgrade and Pristina, and everything else is ten percent of our talks. That relationship is our biggest obstacle to the European path,” he said.
The President Vucic stressed that the only the agreement on the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) is left to be implemented from the Brussels agreement – but, he said he “doesn’t even hope for it to happen.”
“Serbs will not form the ZSO either tomorrow or the day after, we have been waiting for five years, we will wait for those three months, so that no one can accuse Serbs of violating international agreements,” Vucic said.
“They said they would come out with the statute for the ZSO. Serbia will wait for three and a half months, but I tell you now – we will not see it. Our position is pure, but difficult, terribly difficult. We are not talking with Albanians but with the countries that created an independent Kosovo and who are protecting, with Americans, Great Britain… Our hands are tied, and our goal and interest is to preserve security,” he said.
