Pristina does not want to fulfil its obligation and form Community of Serb Municipalities

Belgrade/Brussels, 2 May 2023

President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic stated that at this moment he does not see a solution regarding the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities and that such a solution was not on the table during this evening’s meeting in Brussels.

Speaking to reporters in Brussels after the meeting of the delegations of Belgrade and Pristina with the mediation of EU representatives, Vucic said that nobody saw a solution for the Community of Serb Municipalities at the table tonight, which is why the interlocutors ended the meeting, hoping that they might find some answers in the days ahead of us.

Otherwise, the situation would be very bad and very difficult, the President warned and added that he is not happy that there is no agreement, but that it was not reached.

He expressed the hope that someone will influence Pristina to change its attitudes, or else we are at a dead end.

The President pointed out that he is not an optimist, but that he can promise on behalf of Serbia that he will do his best to preserve peace and continue the talks.

When it comes to the situation after, as he said, the shameful elections in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, the EU came out with its proposal. I accepted it, Pristina refused it. I think it is very important to overcome this situation, Vucic underlined.

The President of Serbia assessed that if Pristina does not agree to implement the Brussels agreements from 2013 and 2015, then there is no point in continuing the negotiations.

Tonight we talked about something where both sides have to make compromise in order to reach an agreement. Before we move into the future, Pristina needs to fulfil what was signed in the past, twice. When it fulfils that, then it is not a problem to move on, Vucic concluded.
