Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora of the Republic of Kosovo, Donika Gërvalla, was this Tuesday on an official visit to the Czech Republic, where she was invited by her counterpart, Jan Lipavsky.

During this visit, it is learned that they discussed the further development of bilateral relations and the advancement of Kosovo’s integration agenda in the European Union.

Among other things, they also talked about the tense situation in the north of Kosovo.

Kosovo is open to the possibility of new elections in four northern municipalities with a Serbian majority after the riots, but according to Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Gervalla, before this happens, some other steps must be taken.

Gervalla, speaking on Tuesday after meeting with the Czech foreign minister in Prague, said an end to violence was the first condition to consider new elections.

“Yes, we are open for elections in these four municipalities, but to have new elections we need steps in between”, she said.

She also said that Serbia should stop threatening Serbian citizens of Kosovo not to participate in the elections. She added that people should not feel threatened.
