Serbia’s Foreign Min: Pristina delegation shows „frivolity, irresponsibility“

FoNet/MSP

Nikola Selakovic, Serbia's Foreign Minister, said on Wednesday that the Pristina delegation showed "frivolity and irresponsibility" during Tuesday's meeting with Belgrade representatives mediated by the European Union officials in Brussels.

On the other hand, he added, the EU officials had „a constructive and fair“ approach.

„You had people (from Pristina) who would not say hello or shake hands. They suggest some ludicrous ideas not related to the so far agreed deals. They were not interested in the dialogue (on normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina), but only in the so-called recognition (of independence),“ Selakovic said.

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic also said his interlocutor Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti „came not to agree“ on anything.

On the other hand, Kurti said the talks would be tough but that he was an optimist.

Miroslav Lajčák, the EU special envoy for the dialogue, who, together with the bloc’s top diplomat Josep Borrell mediated the talks, told reporters the process would not be easy but that it was important it resumed. He did not take questions.

The next round of the dialogue is scheduled for the end of July.
