The Serbian Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija commented today on statements made by EULEX customs spokesperson and made it clear that the Serbian government has not reached any agreement with EULEX concerning customs procedure at the administrative crossings at Jarinje and Brnjak and only existing protocols, which were concluded earlier with UNMIK in accordance with Security Council Resolution 1244, have been affirmed.
According to the Ministry’s statement the customs procedure remains one of the six points contained in the UN Secretary General’s 2008 report and work needs to be done on this matter.
Serbia will not agree with any unilateral decisions and moves which are not in accordance with Security Council Resolution 1244 and the UN Secretary General’s reports on the issue. This principle also applies to EULEX.
Our aim is to find a solution based on compromise through negotiation and Belgrade has always maintained a constructive stance on this issue, concludes the statement.
