The decision of ''the so-called Kosovo'' not to implement the agreement, on forming the ZSO, is in fact Pristina's decision to leave Brussels Dialogue, said Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, reports today Belgrade based daily Vecernje Novosti.
Foreign Minister of Serbia Ivica Dacic said tonight that he was ready to withdraw his signature from the Brussels agreement unless the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities in Kosovo was formed.
"I signed the Brussels agreement. We would never have signed it, if it didn't have the main thing in it, the ZSO. If five years have passed since the signing and there is nothing, I ask why then the negotiations," Dacic told TV Happy.
The technical dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina continues in Brussels. The Belgrade delegation will be led by the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, reports Radio Television Serbia (RTS).
The topics of discussion, which will last for two days, will be the implementation of the achieved agreements on the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), freedom of movement, integrated administration of administrative crossings, justice, and energy.
Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic says that Belgrade will not allow changes to be made to the ZSO agreement that Pristina intends to propose.
Dacic emphasized in a statement for Radio Belgrade over the weekend that any amending of the agreement on the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO) in Kosovo and Metohija was out of the question.
The Kosovo Assembly will discuss today the amended Bill on ratification of the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro. Despite the concessions from Podgorica that the demarcation agreement of 2015 can be corrected, the ruling majority does not have secured votes of 81 deputies, as needed for the adoption of the bill, Radio Television of Serbia reports today.
The extraordinary session of the Kosovo Assembly scheduled for yesterday was postponed in order to ensure the presence of the majority of MPs required for the ratification of the agreement on the demarcation with Montenegro.
The postponement was requested by Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.
Minister of State Administration and Local Self-Government in the Serbian government Branko Ruzic says in Nis that Serbia is implementing its influence in Kosovo through 29 temporary municipal bodies and that by preserving them maintains the constitutional and legal system of Serbia, reports Belgrade based daily Danas.
The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announces today that topics of three-day talks in Brussels will be implementation of the agreements reached on the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO), freedom of movement, integrated management of administrative crossings, justice, energy and other open issues, reports KIM radio.
In the continuation of the negotiation process with Pristina, the Serbian delegation will be led by the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric.
Haradinaj says that all issues that have so far been part of the dialogue in Brussels have no weight, because the main question between Kosovo and Serbia has not been resolved, and that is Kosovo's recognition by Serbia.
Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj was a guest in TV Show "Slobodno Srpski" on Sunday night; among the reasons is the first 100 days of the government that he is in charge.
Belgrade based daily Danas writes today that the Haradinaj government's program does not specify a concrete plan for transforming the Kosovo security forces into the armed forces.
Danas recalls that Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has declared that the EU will grant visa liberalization for Kosovo in March "right after the celebration of the tenth anniversary of independence," and that the Kosovo army will be formed the same month.
