Head of Administration in the municipality of North Mitrovica, Adriana Hodzic said yesterday that the formation of Community/Association of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) was an "agreed thing" and a compromise solution must be found for the implementation. Hodzic has stated that, according to her knowledge, the topic of the ZSO was very seriously considered in Brussels and believes that the agreement will have the same effect as an agreement on insurance of vehicles that have been reached Belgrade and Pristina. She said in a statement delivered to Radio Kontakt that she sees the ZSO as an impo

The Community/Association of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) should have its coat of arms, parliament, president and the council of 30 members. Belgrade-Pristina dialogue could be continued for ten days.

Pristina refused to agree on telecommunications and the Community/Association of Serbian municipalities. Serbia is ready to continue the negotiations, but so far there is no exact date for the resumption of dialogue in Brussels, Djuric notes. Marko Djuric, visiting the RTS, said that Pristina has not been interested to reach an agreement and that at one point it looked as if the talks would be suspended.

"Further steps go toward creating a community of Serbian municipalities (ZSO), in order to achieve something new and quality it is necessary to establish the Community of Serbian municipalities, further progress is not possible without it," he told RTV

Direct discussions between Belgrade and Pristina on the Community/Association of Serbian municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo will be on the agenda of the Brussels negotiations in a month's time, Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Michael Davenport has said. “That is one of the key topics in the Brussels agreement, and the EU insists on its full implementation,” Davenport told TV Vojvodina on Monday. There have been no direct talks between Belgrade and Pristina on the topic, he noted, adding that it is the role of the European Commission and the EU Delegation in Belgrade to back the efforts for d

Respect of the Brussels Treaty and the formation of the Community/Association of Serbian municipalities are crucial for the survival of Serbs in Kosovo, says Ljubomir Maric, Minister for Local Self-Government in Kosovo.

Serbs expect from Pristina to initiate as soon as possible the formation of working groups that will deal with the Association/Community of Serbian Municipalities (ZSO). The first test of the relations between the coalition partners towards the Serbian list will be the establishment of working groups, which should lay the foundation for the formation of ZSO. Representatives of the Serbian List have said that a month would be enough to see whether the coalition partners were honest with them during the negotiations on conditions for the return to the assembly and the government.

First test for relation of coalition partners towards the MPs from the Serbian list, which continued its work in Kosovo institutions after two months of boycott, will be creation of the working groups for the establishment of the foundations for the Community/Association of the Serb municipalities. As stated by the representatives of the Serbian List within the course of the first month will be known if coalition partners fulfil their promises, while agreeing conditions on the return of MPs to the Assembly.
