Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said in Washington that the US views Belgrade’s role in the dialogue with Pristina as constructive and responsible, and that they have a very negative opinion on the Kosovo government’s approach.

After he attended the traditional Prayer Breakfast, which was addressed by US President Joseph Biden, Dacic told the Serbian state TV (RTS) that it is very important for Serbia not to be accused of obstructing the dialogue.

“Washington supports Belgrade’s position, that is, it supports the dialogue and sees Belgrade’s role in that dialogue as constructive and responsible,” said Dacic, adding that criticism is chiefly directed at Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

I think that was a very good and clear message, for us it is very important to be in a position in which no one sees Serbia as a factor obstructing the dialogue, said Dacic.

At the end of this three-day visit to Washington Dacic said the most important talk he had was that with US Department of State Counselor Derek Chollet and US Special Envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar. He said they both support the position that the Community of Serb Municipalities (CSM) is something that has been agreed on and that it has to be formed.
