The director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija, Marko Djuric, met with Portuguese Ambassador to Serbia Augusto Peixoto to brief him on the current state of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, stressing the importance of a prompt formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities for the normalization of relations.

The Community must be formed pursuant to the agreements reached in Brussels and any potential attempt of avoiding these obligations by Pristina would be an attack on the negotiation process and the authority of the EU as a facilitator, said Djuric.

The community will only serve to protect the Serbs and will in no way violate the rights of other nations in Kosovo-Metohija, he said.

Djuric expressed the expectation that Portugal will use its influence in the UN and the EU to contribute to the protection of the rights of Kosovo-Metohija Serbs.
