Nikola Selakovic, Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister, said he could not forecast the outcome of the meeting between President Aleksandar Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti taking place in Brussels on Monday, adding that he will pray to God that Greece does not change its stance on Kosovo.

Selakovic also said that Belgrade is devoted to the dialogue with Pristina.

Speaking to TV Prva, the minister said that Kosovo representatives showed no constructivism at all during the previous meeting, and assessed the behaviour of European officials as “fair”.

Selakovic also said that this dialogue is a top priority for Serbia, which remains loyal to its expectations that the European Union will be a guarantor of the Brussels agreement and its implementation.

He reminded that it has been 3,011 days since the Brussels agreement, which stipulated the formation of the Community of Serb Municipalities but that authorities in Pristina failed to do that. He reiterated that Kosovo authorities did nothing of what the two sides agreed on, while Belgrade fulfilled all of it.

Asked about a possible change of the stance of Greece regarding Kosovo’s independence, Selakovic replied that he “wishes to believe” that Greece won’t recognise it.

According to him, Greek officials convince him that this will not happen but that some of the decisions Athens has made unveil different intentions.

Selakovic said that Greece welcomed Kosovo PM Albin Kurti and is “increasing the degree of (Pristina) office in Athens,” while its officials claim that the situation with Cyprus and Kosovo is not the same.

“I wish to believe that this will not happen and I will pray to God that this doesn’t happen,” he stressed.

Greek and Serbian people are traditionally friendly nations, while Serbia and Greece are both Christian Orthodox countries, he added.
