The German Ambassador to Kosovo, Christian Heldt, said that Kosovo has to establish the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities, that would enable integration of the Serb community. On the other hand, he added, Serbia should implement the agreements reached with Kosovo during the dialogue mediated by the EU.

Creation of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities is part of the agreement for the improvement of the relations between Kosovo and Serbia, signed in April 2013.

Creation of the Association of the Serb-majority Municipalities continues to be the major request of Kosovo Serbs. Furthermore, they consider that the Association should be created within a very short period.

Kosovo’s Deputy Prime Minister, Dalibor Jevtic, stated on Monday that there are no more justifications for delays. He said that now is the time to create the Association as agreed by the parties in Brussels.

Srpska Lista, condemned in strongest terms late on Friday the statement of the EU Representative in Kosovo, Nataliya Aposotlova, who said “that the Association of the Serb Municipalities would be established in line with the Constitutional Court from Pristina decision,” and added that Srpka Lista will never accept the establishment of the Association if not in line with what was signed in Brussels, Serbian media reported.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in an interview to Tanjug stated he believes a historic agreement on normalization of relations and reconciliation between Kosovo and Serbia would soon happen, and its aim it to “recognize reality.”

“This may be popular neither for me, nor for the President Vucic, but it would be good for Kosovo and Serbia. We are lucky to pay a political price for the sake of a better future for the forthcoming generations,” Thaci went on saying.

Former President of Serbia, Boris Tadic commenting on Aleksandar Vucic call for a nationwide dialogue on Kosovo issues, stated to Blic that he has presented his plan five years ago and it contained four topics.

After signing the Brussels agreement this plan is no longer implementable, so some solutions that were possible then are not possible now as it is too late.

Mimoza Ahmetaj: Establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities in line with Kosovo laws (Blic, Beta)

Kosovo Minister for EU Integration, Mimoza Ahmetaj stated yesterday afternoon that the Kosovo Government remains committed to the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, and that the Community of Serb Municipalities would be done in line with Kosovo Constitution and laws.

As B92 reported yesterday Ana Brnabic Prime Minister-designate presented her keynote and also spoke about “the urgency of establishing a Community of Serb Municipalities in the province of Kosovo and Metohija, saying that the goal is to maintain stability in Kosovo, continue negotiations with representatives of the interim administration in Pristina, economically strengthen Serbs there, and continue to support the return of displaced persons.”

During the meeting with people of Prizren, candidate of the PDK-AAK-NISMA pre-election coalition, Ramush Haradinaj, spoke about the demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and candidate for prime minister from the coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), said at a memorial ceremony in the village of Jabllanica that he would use the trust given by the citizens and the political parties for the good of Kosovo and not political interests of his party.

Marko Djuric, Director of the Office for Kosovo at the Serbian Government, said that Brussels is losing authority over Pristina.

Djuric expressed fear that elections in Kosovo would not only mean waste of time for the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, but they also represent continuance of the political radicalization.
