The government of Kosovo has conditioned establishment of the Association/Community of Serb-majority Municipalities with removal of the barricade over the Mitrovica bridge and Serbia’s unblocking of international telephone code for Kosovo. Furthermore, Faton Abdullahu, adviser to the Prime Minister of Kosovo, said that with the current stance, Serbia is risking continuance of the dialogue. According to him, normalization of the relations between Kosovo and Serbia strengthens Kosovo’s towards European integration.

“This is certainly not with minor problems. Stagnations in this respect, which happened more than once, come from the irrational approach of the Serbian state, especially when it comes to the implementation of the reached agreements,” Abdullahu said.

“This now gives us the right to strongly request from Brussels to make more pressure on Serbia to respect the agreements because with the current approach, Serbia is risking continuance of the dialogue.”
