It is not good that Pristina has so far failed to do anything concerning a statute of the Association/Community of Serb Municipalities (A/CSM), Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric said on Wednesday, underscoring that the document would have to be completed by December 25.
In a statement to Tanjug, Djuric said at the Belgrade Security Forum that after the August 25 agreement, Pristina had failed to do anything that would illustrate its good intention. “I think they would have to be more agile, as much as we are agile in the implementation of certain parts of the agreement that we do not necessarily like,“ he said.
Besides the reaching of agreements, it is very important that both sides send positive political messages “to each other, and about each other,“ regardless of differences, Djuric noted.
“I think there is no point, and no reason for Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija to be intimidated by irresponsible politicians, as the fact that Serbs will have some more rights or more chances to continue living there does not mean that anyone will be worse off,“ he explained.
“We must foster good relations with Albanians so that our people would continue living in Kosovo and Metohija. That is why the political options and political claims that insist that the Community of Serb municipalities is a threat to Albanians are actually dangerous,“ Djuric concluded.
