Minister of Local Government Ljubomir Marić says that the European Union bears the responsibility for the formation of the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), as it is a mediator and guarantor in the Brussels talks.

Hungarian Ambassador in Kosovo Laszlo Markusz says that the Hungarian government supports the idea of creating a Community/Association of Serb Municipalities, adding that Belgrade could finance the ZSO partly.

The director of the Office for Kosovo-Metohija, Marko Djuric, met with Portuguese Ambassador to Serbia Augusto Peixoto to brief him on the current state of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, stressing the importance of a prompt formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities for the normalization of relations.

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.

There are no more excuses for delays on the Community of Serb Municipalities, the head of the Serbian Office for Kosovo-Metohija, Marko Djuric, said at a meeting with Anna-Karin Enestrom, Director-General for Political Affairs at the Swedish Foreign Ministry, with whom he discussed the state of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue.

Minister for Local Self-Government in Kosovo Ljubomir Marić says that there are no double teams for drafting the Statute of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities as well as there is no reason that could hinder its work, and that there is only one management team.

He adds that political will is important for the operations of the management team.

The outgoing EU Special Envoy for Kosovo Samuel Žbogar says that his aim was to assist in promoting a peaceful, democratic and multi-ethnic Kosovo and in this sense he is leaving the position pleased.

He, however, says in an interview for daily Jedinstvo, that there are still a lot of open issues for the multi-ethnic Kosovo, but that the EU sees the multi-ethnic Kosovo as the only possible variant of Kosovo and is working to strengthen it.

President of the Commission for Missing Persons, Veljko Odalović says that the ZSO will be formed soon, if Biden's message was taken seriously in Pristina.

When asked when he expects establishment of the ZSO, Odalović said to the RTS "how Pristina works, this will last."

He says that the ZSO constitutes a "bone in the throat" to Pristina and "many others who have introduced Belgrade into a dialogue with the promise that ZSO will be formed."

The Serbian List has asked the Kosovo government to speed up the process of establishing the Association/Community of Serb municipalities, reports today Epoka.

Deputy Prime Minister and member of the Serbian List, Branimir Stojanović says that "the ZSO is an obligation guaranteed by the agreement reached in the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels" and emphasizes that he expects rapid steps in the establishment of this body.

Representatives of Kosovo Serbs deny that an agreement was reached to support the demarcation of the border with Montenegro.

Serbian list did not talk with the representatives of the ruling Albanian political parties about support for the agreement on the demarcation of the border with Montenegro, and which would lead, in return, to the formation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (ZSO), confirmed President of the Serbian List Slavko Simić to Večernje Novosti.
