The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, during the meeting with the special envoy of the European Union for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Laj\u010d\u00e1k, said that Serbia is always ready for dialogue and to respect everything it has signed and agreed to.<\/p>\n
In a press release issued by the Presidency of Serbia, it is also stated that Vu\u010di\u0107 has reiterated that Serbia wants expansion, peace and stability.<\/p>\n
Also in the announcement it was said that Vu\u010di\u0107 insisted on establishing the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority in Kosovo, but other important topics of the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia were also discussed in the meeting.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the European emissary Laj\u010d\u00e1k said that in the meeting with the Serbian officials he talked about the implementation of the Agreement on the way to the normalization of Kosovo-Serbia relations.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter my visit to Kosovo, I also travelled to Belgrade to prepare for this week\u2019s meeting of Chief negotiators. With Serbian President, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 and (the director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian Government) Petar Petkovi\u00e7 I discussed the way forward in the Dialogue and necessary next steps to implement the Agreement on the Path to Normalization,\u201d wrote Lajcak on X.<\/p>\n
The director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian Government, Petar Petkovic, said after the meeting that Laj\u010d\u00e1k’s invitation to continue the dialogue for the normalization of relations on November 16 in Brussels has been accepted.<\/p>\n
“We will discuss the text of the Association’s draft statute. Our side will go with a team of experts”, said Petkovic.<\/p>\n
On November 16, the chief negotiator of Kosovo, Besnik Bislimi, and that of Serbia, Petar Petkovic, will meet in Brussels.<\/p>\n
Laj\u010d\u00e1k’s visit to Serbia comes after he visited Kosovo on November 7, where he discussed with representatives of the Government and the opposition about the new Draft Statute for the Association of Serb-majority municipalities.<\/p>\n
The new proposal “for a modern European model” for the Association’s Draft Statute was presented to Kosovo and Serbia by the members of the “Big Five” during their visit to these two countries on October 21.<\/p>\n
The delegation consisted of representatives of the EU, the United States, Germany, France and Italy.<\/p>\n
Kosovo and Serbia in the dialogue for normalization, which is mediated by the EU, have reached two agreements for the Association, in 2013 and 2015. However, the Constitutional Court of Kosovo found that the agreement on the principles for the establishment of the Association was not in full harmony with the highest legal act of the state and said that it can be harmonized through sub-legal acts.<\/p>\n
