European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic clarified the position of European institutions on the possible inclusion of the Trepca mining complex in the dialogue for normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia. “With regards to the matter if ‘Trepca’ is part of dialogue, the European Union, as a facilitator in the process, has always been clear that the agenda of dialogue is decided by Belgrade and Pristina. We don’t comment on points that they don’t want to discuss. They bring to the table issues that they consider open and then they have to agree on whether they want to discuss every issue, in order to reach a legally-binding agreement on all open issues,” Kocijancic said today. She added that dialogue is aimed at resolving all open issues between Kosovo and Serbia. “Without a full and comprehensive normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina through the EU-facilitated dialogue, there can be no long-term stability in the region. A comprehensive and legally-binding agreement on normalization is urgent and crucial for Serbia and Kosovo to move forward in their European path”. Kocijancic’s remarks follow after harsh reactions from leaders and politicians in Pristina to media reports quoting her as saying that the European Union wants the Trepca issues to be solved through the process of dialogue.
