Membership of “Kosovo” will not be on agenda of tomorrow's meeting of Council of Europe

Belgrade/Strasbourg, 18 April 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic said today in Strasbourg that there will be no discussion about the membership of the so-called of Kosovo in the Council of Europe at tomorrow's session of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.

In a statement to journalists in Strasbourg, where he is attending the commemoration of 20 years of Serbia's membership in the Council of Europe, Dacic pointed out that the fact that someone is talking about it, as well as visa liberalisation, in the days when the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Brussels Agreement is being marked, from which Pristina has carried out nothing, represents an act of great hypocrisy towards Serbia.

He stated that high-level talks on the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities will begin in May and added that the conditions for the discussion on the membership of the so-called of Kosovo in the Council of Europe and that such a thing would be contrary to the idea of showing unity before and at the Council of Europe summit in Reykjavík.

Dacic, speaking about the decision of the Council of Europe to grant visa liberalisation to the citizens of Kosovo, assessed that it was a shameful way of emphasising the message that Kosovo, in fact, does not have to implement anything.
