The establishment of the Community/Association of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO) is an imperative for a success in the further normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, Director of the Office for KiM Marko Djuric said on Tuesday, adding that Belgrade would impose additional pressure and that it would step up diplomatic activity to make it happen in 2016.

The establishment of the ZSO will be one of the topics of the next meeting in Brussels, which is expected to take place in late January, as well as the issues of the property, status and position of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Djuric told Tanjug.

Belgrade insists that Pristina implements all the deals without any delays, Djuric has stressed.

Meanwhile, Belgrade works on the Statute of the ZSO, so that the Serbian side has everything ready, Djuric says.
