Stojanović: Pristina manipulates with the ZSO; Vllasi: They listen too much Belgrade (RTK2, Blic, NMagazin)

Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanović says that they will seek the implementation of the agreement on the Community of Serb municipalities (ZSO) and in the future, while adviser to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo Azem Vllasi says that boycott of the Serb representatives does not benefit the Serbian community, these positions could be heard at the show ''Poglavlje,'' on a TV channel RTK2.

Kosovo Local Government Minister Ljubomir Marić points out, in the same show, that the agreement in Brussels (within the technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina) must be respected without further conditioning.

Stojanovic still believes that the ZSO will be formed although have expired all the deadlines long time ago.

For Vllasi, the question of the ZSO is not a reason for the MPs of the Serbian List to boycott the Kosovo Assembly.

He notes that it is in the interest of the Serbian community to have their representatives in the parliament and present issues for which they think are essential.

"Elected representatives of the Serbian List, in the government and parliament, follow Belgrade's instructions too much, on how to accede their work, and thus they induce a certain suspicion, not to say the deliberate negligence of the Kosovo institutions, so all is stalling, otherwise this is not a big issue and it should had have been resolved by now," said Vllasi.

Commenting on the statement of Prime Minister Isa Mustafa that the work on establishing the Community would begin only after the return of Serbs to Kosovo institutions, the Minister of Local Self-Government states that there is no need for the conditionality.

"The implementation of the principles agreed in Brussels, signed by the two Prime Ministers, predicts their  implementation into the Kosovo system, therefore, by the decision of the Government of Kosovo should be implemented that part of the agreement. I do not understand what the problem is," said Marić in the show.
