Political dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina should continue on June 23, when prime ministers of Serbia and Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic and Isa Mustafa should meet in Brussels, learned Danas. As stated, Vucic and Mustafa should discuss and possibly put initials on “solutions that the teams for technical talks will agree till then.”
According to this unofficial information the daily said it obtained, “Belgrade and Pristina have reached agreement on a technical level on telecommunications and energy, while progress is expected in shuttle diplomacy on the Community/Association of Serb municipalities till the time the prime ministers meet.” It is further “speculated in diplomatic circles” that it was agreed to give Kosovo a special international telephone code, while a joint venture company will apply to become a mobile operator with the competent Kosovo institutions.
Although the question of removing Peace Park in the northern part of Mitrovica has been left to the mayors of the southern and northern parts of the town, sources are quoted as saying that “this issue will be solved when Belgrade decides to open chapters in the negotiations with the EU.” Removing Peace Park is one of 11 German conditions for Serbia’s further EU integration, said the article.
Commenting on his recent meeting with Vucic during an economic forum in Tirana, Mustafa, who has been reelected as LDK party leader, announced the resumption of the political dialogue in Brussels for June 20. He claims that negotiations are late because agreements are not implemented, “and also Serbia again wanted to open topics such as the phone code, energy and civil protection in Northern Mitrovica.”
The Kosovo Assembly on Friday postponed a debate on constitutional amendments needed to pass a law to form a special court for war crimes because there was no parliamentary majority, but a parliamentary session to discuss the draft law should be scheduled on Monday. This was announced by the head of the PDK parliamentary group, Adem Grabovci. Despite the opposition from the West, the leader of the opposition Initiative for Kosovo, Fatmir Limaj, claims it is better that the special court is formed by the UN Security Council, rather than by the assembly of Kosovo, writes the daily.
