Pristina endeavors to place the issue of war reparations on the table in the dialogue with Belgrade in Brussels. This topic was mentioned by the Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga in her annual address to the Kosovo parliament. According to her the dialogue should continue, however new issues should be tabled as well, such as pensions and war reparations.

This is not the first time that Pristina refers to the issue of war reparations, since Kosovo Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci also announced, half a year ago, at the UN Security Council session on Kosovo that Serbia will soon be sued for genocide committed in 1999 and that war reparations will be requested.

The head of the Serbian Parliament committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun said that Pristina is aware that such request is unrealistic. “They should take responsibility for causing war in Kosovo and Metohija, awful ethnic cleansing, terrible crimes and destruction, instead of trying to undermine continuation of the dialogue on normalization of relations using political trickery,” said Drecun.
