Scott and Stefanovic about ZSO and Brussels agreement (Tanjug, RTS)
USA Ambassador to Serbia, Kyle Scott thinks that question whether ZSO should be established in line with the Brussels agreement or Kosovo laws is contradictory, as according to him, Brussels agreement also says that what would be approved must be in line with Kosovo and Serbia’s laws, RTS reported.
USA supports steps made in the direction of establishing the ZSO, Scott said, adding he expects difficult negotiations, but thinks that recent happenings related to the ZSO are a step forward.
Meanwhile, Serbian Minister of Interior, Nebojsa Stefanovic said that Serbia insists on respecting the Brussels agreement and seeks nothing more than what has been signed.
Stefanovic further emphasized it is important that Brussels agreement and agreement on implementation say that both sides would adjust their legal frameworks in regard to the Brussels agreement.
He reminded, that both sides signed and agreed to such EU-brokered agreement.
“And also agreed that the provisions of the Brussels agreement are implemented in a manner as they were signed. We request nothing more than what has been signed. One of the provisions of the agreement on implementation says that both sides would adjust their legal frameworks,” Stefanovic pointed out.
According to him, in case of opposite everything would be senseless. “Imagine if we tell now it has to be done in line with Serbian laws only,” Stefanovic added, RTS reported.
