Serbia stands for de-escalation, compliance with agreements on Kosovo and Metohija

Belgrade, 12 April 2024

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic met today with Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and UNMIK Head Caroline Ziadeh.

The meeting was held in the context of the upcoming regular session of the UN Security Council on UNMIK, planned for 22 April, and the report on UNMIK's work for the last six-month period.

The two officials discussed the current situation in Kosovo and Metohija and the atmosphere of increased tension, which is continuously created by Pristina with the aim of further expelling the Serb population.

Dacic expressed his concern regarding Pristina’s recent one-sided moves, especially after the abolition of the dinar, and the very sensitive security and political situation in the province.

The head of the Serbian diplomacy reiterated that, as until now, Serbia stands for de-escalation, preservation of peace and the compliance with the agreements reached to date, of which the Brussels agreement of 2013, mediated by the EU, which envisages the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities, is still waiting to be implemented by Pristina.

Ziadeh highlighted the importance of holding consultations before the Security Council session and underlined that the UN fully supports the dialogue conducted under the EU auspices.

She called on the actors in the dialogue to get involved in a constructive way in the fulfilment of the obligations assumed.
