Office for KiM: In Brussels on reached agreements; Janjic: ZSO became the subject of election promises (KIM radio)
The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announces today that topics of three-day talks in Brussels will be implementation of the agreements reached on the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), freedom of movement, integrated management of administrative crossings, justice, energy and other open issues, reports KIM radio.
In the continuation of the negotiation process with Pristina, the Serbian delegation will be led by the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric.
The Office for Kosovo and Metohija statement reads that in the Belgrade delegation "in addition to the representatives of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and the Coordination Office in the negotiation process with the provisional institutions of self-government in Pristina, representatives of the relevant ministries and institutions on the above topics will also be present", reports KIM radio.
Analyst Dusan Janjic estimates for KIM radio that ZSO has become the subject of election promises and political agreements in constituting the governments.
Janjic points out that the ZSO has to be implemented in the next couple of months, because, as he says if the ZSO remain the subject of blackmail, it would also hamper the new phase of Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.
Janjic says that apart from the ZSO in Brussels, other topics will be discussed.
"There will be other issues on the agenda, such as the final release of telephone traffic, the issue of energy, whether Serbia will or it will not activate its businesses in the north of Kosovo. So, a whole range of technical issues, when we talk about the level on which Marko Djuric would talk. Thereafter, a meeting of two presidents follows. They should agree on details of a new phase of the dialogue, expected in May."
