Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director Marko Djuric said on Thursday that it was time for a compromise between Belgrade and Pristina and that an idea on the territory swap should not be discarded if it would lead to a solution, Beta news agency reported.

Speaking at the Belgrade Security Forum conference on the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue, he said Serbia should act with caution.

One day prior to deadline to draft the Statue of the Association/Community of Serb-Majority Municipalities (ZSO), Srpska Lista does not believe Pristina would establish it, RTS reported.

Management Team members stated draft statute would be ready within a given deadline and they remain ready, at any moment, at Brussels request to present the text to the implementation councils and participants of a high-level dialogue, RTS added.

Srpska Lista MP, Igor Simic told RTS, Management Team worked hard to prepare the draft statute.

Disunited Serbian opposition still comes to a common ground regarding one issue – stance to object a legally binding agreement and a dialogue with Pristina in a manner lead by the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, TV N1 reports today.

RTV Mir in Leposavic Director, Nenad Radosavljevic, speaking for “Slobodno sprski” talk show said that responsible bodies in Pristina cannot shed the light on the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, since they lack capacities and experience while Belgrade “simply does not want to do so,” Radio KIM reported.

European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia, David McAllister said that the latest report on Serbia’s progress to the EU rightly places Serbia as one of the leading countries in the process of enlargement, Tanjug news agency reported.

He added reforms in the rule of law area, fundamental freedoms and dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina are the most important tasks for Serbia.

Kosovo is a priority in all Serbian diplomatic activities, Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic told Novosti daily, adding that the visit of Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel is important since this country would now have more understanding for Serbia.

Dacic emphasized it is important “to reach to everyone,” but he does not expect the EU would act differently now.

“The EU suffers from a serious disease, and it is muteness and deafness when it comes to Serbia. Maybe this disease can be cured, but one should work on it,” Dacic said.

Serbian PM, Ana Brnabic and her Belgian counterpart Charles Michel on Tuesday spoke about bilateral and economic relations and relations in the region.

According to the Serbian government, their meeting in Belgrade also concerned normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations and the European path of Serbia.

At a joint press conference after the meeting, Brnabic expressed her gratitude to the Michel for his visit and readiness to hear and understand our logics and what is happening in the region as well as what we did in the path of our European integration.

Serbia would easier resolve the Kosovo issue, than to truly reform and harmonize itself with European liberal values, a journalist and foreign policy commentator, Bosko Jaksic told FoNet news agency, adding that Vojislav Seselj is one of Serbia’s EU “progress measure”.

Jaksic pointed out to “a paradox situation” in which the EU over the last months after “selfish insistence on Kosovo,” “thanks to Russians” increased its interest for other spheres as well.

The entire region is at a crossroad and it is expected certain open issues to be closed. For Serbia it is the normalization of relations with Pristina, Centre for Foreign Policy Director, Aleksandra Joksimovic told RTS.

According to Joksimovic often visits of the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini to Serbia and other countries in the region speak about EU enlargement focus and attempt to give to the Western Balkans clear European perspective.

EU High Representative Federica Mogherini would reiterate during her visit to Belgrade that commitment to working on normalization of Belgrade-Pristina relations, within a dialogue she mediates, must continue, European Commission Spokeswoman, Maja Kocijancic told Serbian media.

Kocijancic also added Mogherini would meet in Belgrade representatives of the authorities and civil society to discuss European Commission report on Serbia.
