Serbia's commitment to peaceful solution to problems in Kosovo and Metohija

Belgrade, 11 October 2023

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic met today with Deputy Managing Director of the European External Action Service (EEAS) and Director for Western Europe, the Western Balkans, Turkey and Great Britain Marko Makovec.

Dacic informed Makovec about the latest developments in Kosovo and Metohija, particularly emphasising all the measures taken by Serbia in order to de-escalate the situation.

The head of Serbian diplomacy reiterated our principled determination that all outstanding issues in the process of normalising relations between Belgrade and Pristina should be resolved peacefully, with respect for all agreements reached so far, primarily the Brussels Agreement, which was reached with the mediation of the European Union.

Makovec underlined serious concern regarding the events in Banjska on 24 September and the importance of establishing the circumstances through an investigation.

He emphasised the necessity of lowering tensions, de-escalation and return to dialogue under the auspices of the EU.

Also, the current moment of the European integration of Serbia was discussed, with special reference to the reform measures that were taken in the previous period.

The mutual conclusion is that the reform process must continue, and the negotiation process must be accelerated, in accordance with the strategic foreign policy goal of Serbia to join the EU.
