The Berlin Process gathering in London that brought together Western Balkans leaders could not go without something "short-circuiting," says Ivica Dacic.

"It's been confirmed that wherever everyone from the region gathers, some short circuit occurs. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson didn't even come to the gathering, because he resigned. Should we go to some other countries, too?," the Serbian foreign minister asked jokingly.

''For me as the political representative of the Serbs in Kosovo is very important that I had the opportunity to first-hand inform decision makers in the influential countries about the problems that Serbs are facing here," Simić said in a statement.

Simić said that they talked about the political rights and position of the Serbian people in Kosovo, and frozen participation of the Serbian List in the government and the parliament.

 

British Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, in an address to the Kosovo Assembly MPs said that Kosovo has made significant progress since 1999 but that it needs to continue improving and working for the benefit of its people. He said the people of Kosovo have the right to seek accountability from their elected representatives and added that appointment of people to different posts based on merit is essential for the development of a country.
