Head of the Serbian negotiation team, Marko Djuric told Danas daily Serbian delegation resolutely requests from Pristina and European Union to establish the Association of Serb Municipalities, but that “some weird people” from Pristina delegation arrived to Brussels unready to talk about that.

They came here unready to implement the Association of Serb Municipalities, and expected that we give them everything. It does not work like that, Djuric told journalists in Brussels.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic met yesterday with United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres in New York, Serbian media reported.

Serbian President Vucic pledged for the respect of UN SC Resolution 1244, greater role of UNMIK and finding of a compromised solution to the Kosovo issue.

During the talks with the UN SG Guterres, Vucic said Serbia is ready to cooperate with both international organizations and Kosovo Albanians and pointed out the importance in finding a compromise.

"No further progress has been achieved" in this week's technical level dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, the European Commission said on Wednesday.

A statement noted that "chief negotiators from Belgrade and Pristina Marko Djuric and Avni Arifi, together with their respective teams, met in Brussels March 21-23."

The EU expects full implementation of all Belgrade-Pristina dialogue agreements, including the one to establish the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO).

This has been stated by European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic on the eve of a new round of technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina delegations, which begins later in the afternoon in Brussels and will last until Wednesday.

A new round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue at the level of experts will be held in Brussels from Monday until Wednesday.

The topics should include implementation of agreements on the Community of Serb Municipalities, energy, the bridge in Kosovska Mitrovica, freedom of movement and integrated management of administrative crossings.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has said that he met with Kosovo President Hashim Thaci in Sofia on Thursday, BETA news agency reported.

According to Vucic, they discussed "continuing the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and solving the historical dispute between Serbs and Albanians."

Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic said tonight that he was ready to withdraw his signature from the Brussels agreement unless the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities in Kosovo was formed.

"I signed the Brussels agreement. We would never have signed it, if it didn't have the main thing in it, the ZSO. If five years have passed since the signing and there is nothing, I ask why then the negotiations," Dacic told TV Happy.

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communities and Returns, Dalibor Jevtic told Voice of America, peace and stability must be interest of all and this year would be crucial to reach that goal.

Jevtic also spoke about the importance of Belgrade-Pristina dialogue continuation as well as to implement what has been agreed so far, in particular the Association of the Serb Municipalities.

He added, the Association of the Serb Municipalities targets no one, and it is well known, Serbian media reported.

Serbian Justice Minister, Nela Kuburovic told BETA news agency she expect the Special Court for KLA crime would soon begin to operate.

Kuburovic also said, she believes the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue in Brussels would continue.

“I believe the Specialist Chambers would soon start working and that the justice to the victims will be served,” Kuburovic said.

She added, that an initiative to abrogate the Special Court would not be able to prevent the work of that court as there is an international agreement on its establishment.

European Parliament Rapporteur for Serbia, David McAllister said in an interview to Vecernje Novosti daily that this horrible crime should not inflame dangerous rhetoric in the region.

He again condemned the murder of Oliver Ivanoic and expressed sincere condolence to his family. McAllister underlined that the responsible judicial institutions must conduct a swift and professional investigation and bring perpetrators before the justice.
