Pristina has to amend and adjust its laws and other legal acts, thus enabling conditions for establishment of the Association of Serb Municipalities in accordance with the obligations it undertook by signing the Brussels agreement, Srpska Lista (SL) said yesterday, RTS reported.

We expect that EU Special Representative in Kosovo, Natalya Apostolova reminds Pristina about that obligation, SL further said. SL statement came as a reaction to the statement Apostolova made earlier, saying that the ZSO Statute would be established in line with Kosovo laws and the ZSO would not be a second level of power, RTS reported. Meanwhile, Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric told Radio Television of Vojvodina (RTV) Serbs in Kosovo will not give up on establishment of the Association of Serb Municipalities, and that Pristina has no intention to enable its establishment in line with the Brussels agreement. Djuric added that Steering Team already works on preparing the ZSO draft Statute. “This Statute would not be drafted in line with Pristina internal acts and decisions, but in line with Brussels agreement,” Djuric told RTV. According to Djuric, the Brussels agreement clearly and unambiguously foresees to change certain regulations in order to create a legal foundation for the ZSO functioning.
