The Presidents of Serbia and Kosovo, Aleksandar Vucic and Hashim Thaci said after their meeting in Brussels that they will continue the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue but were not optimistic about finding a solution soon, reports regional broadcaster N1.
Serbia will never recognize Kosovo's independence, PM Ana Brnabic has said, and stressed that this would not be a compromise - something Belgrade favors.
She stressed that a compromise would also not be possible if Serbia continued to insist that Kosovo belongs to it, Tanjug cited Germany's broadcaster Deutsche Welle, which quoted Brnabic's statement made for Germany's Welt newspaper.
Brnabic also said that "relations with Pristina for us, Serbs, are difficult and emotional."
Serbian Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimovic, after meeting with the ambassadors of the EU Member State in Brussels, stated that none of the participants have mentioned direct involvement or change of the format of the dialogue, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports.
Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports, quoting Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti, that the president of Serbia allegedly did not want to introduce the public with a working document related to resolving the Kosovo problem, assessing it as "unworthy of attention and unacceptable for Serbia".
According to Novosti, representatives of Kosovo and Serbia were presented with four pillars of the historic agreement:
The Management team for the establishment of the Community/Association of Serb municipalities (ZSO) met today with the Minister of Local Government Administration in the Kosovo government, Ivan Todosijevic, and informed him about the current work on the draft of the ZSO Statute, reports Radio Television of Serbia.
Chairman of the Assembly Committee for Kosovo and Metohija Milovan Drecun told RTS that if an agreement is reached with Pristina, which will regulate the final status of Kosovo, it will be necessary for Serbia's citizens to declare on it. He points out that EULEX ending its mission ''in the southern Serbian province on June 14, will further destabilize the Serb people''.
President Aleksandar Vucic and Serbia all the time point out and warn that Pristina is not interested in technical or other negotiations, and that they are not interested in the signed agreement on the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), says the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric.
Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Marko Djuric informed today the deputy of the German Bundestag and a member of the EU Relations Committee Manuel Sarrazin on the daily problems of the Serbian people in Kosovo, as well as with the fact that the level of sustainable return of internally displaced Serbs in the province is negligible, the office announces, reports Belgrade based daily Blic.
The management team for the establishment of the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities met directors of the largest business entities from the north of Kosovo and the Dean of the Faculty of Economics at Pristina University with a temporary headquarters in North Mitrovica on creating conditions for a more dynamic development of Serb-majority municipalities, reported Serbian media.
The work on the Statute of the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) runs smoothly, and as for the Management Team, the Statute can be completed as planned, until August, says the Minister of Local Self-Government in the Pristina's Institutions Ivan Todosijevic for Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.
He notes that although he is the responsible minister, the Brussels agreements do not leave space for him to insist on seeing the text of the statute before it is presented in a high-level dialogue.
