Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue failed in Brussels because Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti demanded “de jure recognition”. Pročitaj više

Vucic and Kurti were due to meet in Brussels on Wednesday with European Union officials but the meeting did not take place after the Kosovo Pime Minister set conditions.

“The dialogue did not happen because they don’t want a dialogue. They wanted de jure, not de facto recognition. We wanted to talk about compromises to solve problems but I know ahead of time that they are not ready for that,” he told the pro-regime TV Pink. “You always have to find someone to talk to. We are prepared to talk but I don’t see a serious dialogue continuing soon,” Vucic added.

According to Vucic,, his talks with European Union officials in Brussels about obligations Belgrade has to meet on its European integration path are more important than the money Serbia will get under the EU Growth Plan. He said that the issue isn’t whether Serbia will get 120 or 130 million Euro by the end of the year.

The president said that the entire state will be hard at work to secure fuel, water and power over the summer.
