"Serbia will wait three and a half months, as it has been said, for the statute of the ZSO (to be drafted) - but this will not happen," Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said.

Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic has described statements saying that the ZSO would be formed in accordance with Kosovo's laws as "ridiculous."

Head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) parliamentary group, Avdullah Hoti, said that the confusion regarding the dialogue for normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia is only deepening further. He said that in the absence of a new Kosovo Assembly resolution on who should lead the process, the applicable rules remain those outlined in the most recent resolution from 2011 and 2012. According to these, government of Kosovo is authorized to be in charge of the dialogue.

Aleksandar Vucic has said that the ZSO can only be formed in accordance with the Brussels agreement, its principles and the implementation plan.

Marko Djuric said on Thursday that Serbs will not give up on the Community of Serb Municipalities (ZSO).

According to political analyst Dusan Janjic, arrest of Marko Djuric was security-political trigger that sped up existing preparations for negotiations in a new format, Tanjug news agency reported.

Former Serbian President and leader of Social-Democratic Party (SDS) Boris Tadic said last night that announced establishment of the Association of the Serb Municipalities by Serb representatives from Kosovo represents “an insult to a common sense.”
