Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that he does not expect the authorities in Pristina to form the Community of Serb Municipalities as agreed under the 2013 Brussels agreement. Pročitaj više

The Community of Serb Municipalities has been disputed by the government in Pristina saying that it is not in line with the Kosovo constitution while official Belgrade insists on the implementation of that part of the agreement and wants the Community, which should be made up of the majority-Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo, to have some executive powers.

Vucic told the pro-government TV Pink that the only important thing is what European Union officials will say as the co-signatories of the Brussels agreement, adding that he will not get involved in that debate but will insist on implementation. “They are coming to twist my arm and wring my neck to make my say: Let me sign the independence of Kosovo. That won’t happen and I think we have to talk seriously and if they don’t want to continue the dialogue, I won’t be opposed as long as they don’t jeopardize the safety of the Serbs,” he said, adding that he fears instability and problems now that the dialogue is with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

According to Vucic, Belgrade has responded to 21 requests for information about missing persons from Pristina, excavated sites and found remains in four of them while Pristina has not responded to 10 requests from Belgrade. He said that there are 350 sets of remains in the morgue in Pristina and the Kosovo authorities never provided any information about DNA tests of those bodies.
