Serbian Trade and Telecommunication Minister, Rasim Ljajic told Prva TV he does not expect Pristina-Belgrade agreement to be reached in the forthcoming months.

Commenting on media reports that USA President Trump praised Serbia and USA under his administration changed the attitude toward Serbia, Ljajic noted that change is evident.

“(…) That stance is reflected in one sentence, try to make an agreement, we have nothing against it, and the final assessment we will give once the agreement is reached,” Ljajic added.

“We can talk now about different position, but it is too soon to tell it is a dramatic change,” he said.

Asked to comment on Pacolli’s statement on demarcation and possible agreement with Pristina, Ljajic replied it is difficult to reach agreement due to two reasons. “Firstly, the EU does not have harmonized approach, and Thaci has no support in Pristina to do what he intends. This lack of political legitimacy seems to be the main obstacle in reaching a compromise solution in the forthcoming phases of dialogue,” Ljajic underlined.
