Harmonization of the legal framework in Kosovo with the Brussels agreement remains the main prerequisite for establishment of the community of Serb municipalities (ZSO), Ljubomir Maric, the coordinator of the steering team for the ZSO establishment and Kosovo Minister of Administration and Local Self-Government, said late Tuesday.
After a meeting with officials of the European External Action Service, Maric pointed out that he has filed a report at the invitation of the EU on what has been done in terms of ZSO since the steering team was formed in 2013.
“Harmonization of the legal framework in KiM with the Brussels agreement, which has been ratified by the Kosovo parliament, remains the main precondition for the establishment of ZSO,” Maric said.
As he put it, the steering team needs more support through appreciation of its proposals and obtained expert analysis for prepared solutions.
“Our delegation also included Gracanica Mayor Vladeta Kostic, who conveyed the Serbian community’s positions on ZSO, which local Serbs see as the basis of support to the Brussels agreement and the only way to protect and exercise their rights and interests,” Maric concluded.
