Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Đurić says that Serbia is surprised by the decision of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government in Pristina to halt the dialogue, and said that Belgrade remains committed to the talks as a way to resolve disputes.

Đurić believes that now is clear that all the work of the political representatives of the Kosovo Albanians in recent months on raising tensions was actually a search for an excuse to suspend the normalization of relations and dialogue with the Serbs and Belgrade.

"We remain committed to the talks as a mean of resolution of disputes and alignment of interests with political representatives of Albanians," said Đurić said in a statement.
