Talks on integrated management next week in Brussels
Belgrade,
5 October 2012
Director of the Serbian government’s Office for Expert and Operational Affairs in Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Dejan Pavicevic stated that the government’s working group for the implementation of the technical protocol on integrated management of the administrative line with Kosovo-Metohija held its first meeting today.
Pavicevic told Tanjug news agency that representatives of Belgrade, the EU and Pristina will convene on 10 October in Brussels to discuss the yet unresolved issues in the protocol.
He said that the technical protocol has flaws, but noted that one of the items enables the implementation group to change certain things.
However, he observed that this will be very difficult to pull out because Brussels and Pristina will most likely object to Belgrade’s proposals and vice versa.
The major dispute is EULEX’s executive mandate. We will do all we can to make sure EULEX is the only one authorised to deal with customs matters and we will stick firmly to this stance, Pavicevic explained. The working group has taken a firm stance regarding certain issues and will engage in the talks with a clear platform to make sure there are no errors or solutions that may be harmful to the Constitution or Serbian citizens, he added.
Pavicevic remarked that the government, the President’s office and experts have been working on a platform for political talks with Pristina, announcing that this will be a serious document that will leave no room for improvisations and ad hoc solutions in the dialogue.
