The caucus whip of the Serbian List in the Kosovo parliament, Saša Milosavljević, said to RTK2 that the List had reached the agreement with the Albanian coalition partners that unilateral moves won’t happen in future. “The essence is that we’ll do everything together in future, that we’ll agree over all issues with coalition partners, and what is maybe most important is that we’ll create inter-ministerial groups that will deal with all issues which are important for both, Serbian community and other citizens of Kosovo,” said Milosavljević.
