Valdrin Lluka, Kosovo’s Minister of Economic Development, told N1 on Thursday he expected a final solution in Belgrade - Pristina dialogue on normalisation of relations to be reached this year and accused Serbia of not implementing deals agreed in Brussels.

Speaking at the sidelines of the “Challenges and perspectives of normalisation between Belgrade and Pristina” conference in Belgrade, Lluka said that Serbia’s refusal to implement the energy deal from 2013 caused 25 million Euros loss per year for Kosovo.

However, he avoided a direct answer to the question about the Community of Serb Municipalities (CSM), also agreed on in 2013, that Pristina did not implement, saying “it is a different issue.”

Lluka added that Serbia was blocking Kosovo from international organisations membership like Interpol and UNESCO. He said that crime did not recognise borders and countries should fight against it together whether they recognise each other or not.
