Formation of Community of Serb Municipalities remains key topic of negotiations with Pristina

Belgrade/Brussels, 19 March 2024

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic said today that during a trilateral meeting with Pristina's Chief Negotiator Besnik Bislimi and EU Special Envoy for Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, the Serbian delegation highlighted everything that makes the survival of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija difficult.

After the meeting held in Brussels, Petkovic pointed out that the direct conversation took place at the insistence of the Serbian side, and that the main topic was the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities because it relates to the fate and future of the Serbian people.

He said that everything that makes the survival and life of our people in the southern Serbian province difficult was pointed out, including all the violent moves and the embargo on Serbian goods, which has lasted for nine months.

He added that numerous incidents were also discussed, the closure of Serbian institutions and of the Serbian outpatient clinic in Pristina, the behaviour of the police towards Serbs, the very difficult position of Serbs and the decree on the dinar, which affects Serbs who receive social benefits, as well as our institutions.

Petkovic underlined once again that the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities is crucial for the Serbian side, because it completely solves the matter of financing our institutions, noting that Belgrade, Pristina and the EU have also signed it.
