Marko Đurić and Dejan Pavićević met today in the premises of the European Union Office in Pristina. Topics of the meeting were economy and common problems of Serbs and Albanians.
After the meeting, which took place behind the closed door, Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić said that he talked with Pavićević about economic issues and added that talks should take place with representatives of provisional Kosovo institutions about problems faced by Serbs and Albanians.
“We talked about how to consolidate existing economic potentials and how to engage, with representatives of the provisional institutions, in projects which would be important for both communities. We also talked about how Serbs live in the wider region of central Kosovo and what problems they are faced with,” said Đurić and added that joint future, freed of hatred, is needed for Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo.
“We want future of Serbs and Albanians to be the future which won’t be filled with hatred, intolerance and disputes which brought nothing good,” said Marko Đurić in Pristina.
Addressing the issue of creation of the Union of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO) Đurić said that ZSO is the central part of the Brussels agreement and that intensive talks are ongoing on its establishment.
“With representatives of Serbs in Gračanica and other settlements where, unlike Pristina, Serbs managed to survive, we are discussing how to erect the Union of Serbian Municipalities in the best manner,” said Đurić.
Marko Đurić and Dejan Pavićević paid a visit to the church of St. Nicolas in Pristina after what they visited Gračanica/Graçanicë where they conferred, in another meeting behind the closed door, with representatives of local institutions.
Belgrade’s Liaison Officer in Pristina Dejan Pavićević didn’t make any press statements.
