Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa during his visit to Shtime/Stimlje municipality today said that the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia in Brussels, launched three years ago, has been very difficult. The results of this dialogue, according to Mustafa, have been evident. “Through dialogue we managed to overcome the problem of the north of the country. Now there is communication between the Government of Kosovo and the mayors of the north, and they have accepted the Kosovo budget and are applying the laws of Kosovo,” Mustafa said.

The President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, recalled the first agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, signed three years ago between the former Prime Minister of Serbia, Ivica Dacic and the then Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci.

It is not excluded that the current ban for the Serbs with the Serbian identity cards has not been negotiated between Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci, suspect the Patriotic block.

Representatives of the DSS and Dveri believe that the prohibition of the passage for the Serbs from Kosovo through the administrative crossings between central Serbia and Kosovo with the personal documents of the state of Serbia is something that arises from the Brussels Agreement.

Mayors of the northern municipalities as well as mayors of the so-called municipalities that function as part of Serbia, also joined these protesters.
