After the tenth round of talks between Belgrade and Pristina, mediated by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, Dacic said that all Serbia’s proposals have been accepted.
The Prime Minister said that this is the best offer Belgrade has received, adding that Article 9, related to the police and the appointment of a regional commander, has stayed in the agreement, while Article 14 has been amended and the statement that Serbia must not block Kosovo in international organisations has been removed.
The article now only states that Serbia must not stand in the way of Kosovo's European integration process, Dacic said.
He said that he has not signed the agreement but only initialed it, and that it is a proposal which each of the sides will either accept or reject in the coming days.
Serbia will notify EU’s High Representative Catherine Ashton on 22 April whether it will accept or reject the agreement, said Dacic.
The Serbian government will have a uniform position; we will either unilaterally accept it or unilaterally reject it, said Dacic.
The agreement was also initialed by Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci.
