Belgrade,
10 March 2013
Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic said that the Serbian leadership will hold a meeting with EU officials on 11 March in Brussels.
In an interview for the daily newspaper "Blic", Dacic stated that he does not expect from these talks that anyone will pressure anyone, but to clarify whether it is possible to find a sustainable solution to the problem of Kosovo-Metohija.
He said that at the meeting before the previous one, a proposal had been made to agree on some general principles and to initial them, and explained that these principles did not envisage executive powers for Serbs in northern Kosovo.
The Prime Minister said that he did not want to sign those principles, and underlined that he will never sign anything that is not good for Serbia and which does not ensure the functioning and survival of the Serbian community in Kosovo-Metohija.
Dacic stated that Serbia will not change its positions in order to get a starting date for negotiations on EU membership in the summer, but that also does not mean that we will give up on the European path of Serbia.
