Petkovic: Kurti wants no Community of Serb Municipalities or peace

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said that, after Tuesday's round of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue in Brussels, it was clear that Pristina's PM Albin Kurti wanted neither the establishment of a Community of Serb Municipalities nor peace.

"After yesterday's meeting and Kurti's refusal to discuss the establishment of a Community of Serb Municipalities, I am concerned about further developments in Kosovo-Metohija. That was also the first impression of President Aleksandar Vucic and EU foreign policy and security chief Josep Borrell, who said paths were open to new crises in the north of Kosovo-Metohija," Petkovic told the RTS.

Pristina is denying everything that has been agreed under agreements signed in 2013 and 2015 regarding the establishment of the Community and, after yesterday's meeting, it is clear that Kurti wants no discussions, but new conflicts, Petkovic said.
