It would be unnecessary to have another meeting if preconditions were not met. It would again be a meeting for no reason\u201d, Borrell said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom what I\u2019ve understood from Lajcak is that there is no will at the moment but we can\u2019t force parties [\u2026] What was said during this meeting is that the establishment of the Association of Serbian Municipalities is part of the Brussels agreements, this agreement is concluded in good faith by the parties involved,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>But according to Kosovo\u2019s head of the executive, Serbia has failed to implement more than two-thirds of agreements.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are 33 agreements between Kosovo and Serbia. Two-thirds have not been implemented by Serbia, but always, Serbia requires the implementation of only one of them, which has not passed the test of the Constitutional Court. It is time to have a dialogue when the citizens are the beneficiaries and not the politicians\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/11\/30\/von-cramons-call-to-germany-on-changing-its-stance-on-serbia-angers-pm-brnabic\/\">Von Cramon\u2019s call to Germany on changing its stance on Serbia angers PM Brnabic<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/11\/25\/soon-serb-majority-communes-will-have-to-pay-for-their-electricity-says-kurti\/\">Kurti: Soon, residents of Serb-majority communes will have to pay for their electricity<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/11\/16\/pm-kurti-on-a-final-agreement-with-serbia-possible-within-my-mandate\/\">PM Kurti on a final agreement with Serbia: Possible within my mandate<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and EU\u2019s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell maintained two very different stances in regards to the Association of Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo.
