The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic gave a statement for the press after his meeting with the Prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, during which he declared that an agreement was reached regarding the fact that the dialogue will continue until the end of July.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are certain about the dialogue but this meeting wasn\u2019t in this spirit because of the irresponsibility on the Albanian side. We have agreed to have the dialogue of a high level continue until the end of July,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Vucic also said that \u201che hasn\u2019t participated in such a meeting ever before\u201d referring to Kurti\u2019s outburst during the conversation, asking for the recognition of Kosovo\u2019s independence. According to him, Kosovo’s PM made an effort to put an end to the dialogue, defining Kurti as a non-serious person and not representative of Kosovo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI replied harshly but I didn\u2019t overstep the boundary. He (Kurti) came as if we hadn\u2019t agreed on anything. He said \u201cI have to come to ask you when you will recognize Kosovo\u201d. I replied \u201cnever\u201d and he was enraged\u201d, stated the Serbian president.<\/p>\n

Vucic also said that Kurti had threatened him during the meeting with a genocide lawsuit, but that he had replied by saying that instead of talking about it, he should act on it.<\/p>\n

The Serbian president also expressed his discontent regarding the essence of the discussion, while deeming Albin Kurti\u2019s behavior as \u201cnot too important\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you come and say, when will you recognize Kosovo\u2019s independence, it is clear that he hadn\u2019t come to discuss but to provoke a reaction from Belgrade or my personnel, so that we would leave that roundtable and later he could use it as an alibi saying that Serbia is abandoning the dialogue,\u201d declared Vucic.<\/p>\n
