European Union (EU) Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak said that Pristina’s latest decision has changed the plans and topics of his visit.

The Kosovo government decided to introduce what it said were reciprocal measures for Serbian citizens and vehicles entering Kosovo.

Lajcak declined to comment Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic’s statement that Pristina is planning a new Storm (Croatian military operation against Serb-held areas in the war of the 1990s) in north Kosovo.

“Last night we had a very serious talk about the situation and of course we need to look for solutions through a dialogue, not through confrontation,” Lajcak told the media.

Lajcak said there was a new situation now that has changed his plans and topics. “I came to the region to prepare the next leaders’ meeting on progress and normalization of relations, now we need to resolve this situation,” said Lajcak, adding that a crisis must not be allowed.
