Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric said the tariffs that Pristina authorities introduced on goods from Serbia “had one and the only goal and it is to harm Serbia,” adding there was no other political idea or principle behind that decision.

Commenting on statement of Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj, who said the new tax policy achieved its goal because it harmed Serbia’s economy, Djuric noted this once again proved what was the motive to introduce the tariffs.

“Pristina is against any kind of dialogue or compromise,” Djuric noted. “By saying that, Hoxhaj confirmed that all stories about Pristina preferring dialogue and normalization (of relations) are empty, because everything they did prove they only wanted to make damage to Serbia and the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija,” Djuric underlined.

According to him, all other phrases that Pristina uses are nothing but a performance for the international audience and “this is not how someone who truly wants dialogue behaves.”
