As a result of the meeting of five international representatives that took place in Kosovo and Serbia on October 21 and the exchanges they had with the parties, the European Union said that it has presented a “modern European” proposal for the Association of Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo. The European bloc said it expects the parties to take quick action to normalize relations.

These statements were made by the EU spokesperson, Peter Stano, who confirmed that the bloc has invited the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to Brussels on Thursday, October 26, the date that the summit of EU will be held.

“Discussions of the EU’s special envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, during the weekend in Belgrade and Pristina were focused on the implementation of the Ohrid Annex.

There is no intention of replacing him. Various proposals and ideas were discussed, some in writing, and of course these discussions will continue. This also includes a modern European proposal for the statute of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority”, said Stano.

He added that “quick steps are expected from the parties to prove that they are committed to continuing the normalization process, fulfilling their respective obligations from the Agreement on the path to the normalization of relations as well as all agreements from the past, without delays and prerequisites”.

“Leaders of Kosovo and Serbia have been invited to participate in the dialogue support meeting on the sidelines of the European Council meeting later this week,” said Stano.

Even earlier, the EU has said that it has presented Kosovo and Serbia with several European models for the Association statute.
