Petkovic: Pristina killing dialogue

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Wednesday Pristina was killing the dialogue with Belgrade and that Pristina's chief negotiator Besnik Bislimi had refused to discuss all topics during Tuesday's round of dialogue in Brussels.

Petkovic was reacting to a statement in which Pristina accused Belgrade of refusing to accept the fundamental agreement its entirety and implementation of some of its parts and "sabotaging" the process of resolving the issue of missing persons.

"Bislimi refused to talk about missing persons in Brussels yesterday, he called the agreement on official visits non-existent, said Elektrosever is an abnormal company and rejected an EU draft statute for a Community of Serb Municipalities - and he said all that in front of (EU special envoy Miroslav) Lajcak and his team. Pristina is killing dialogue!" Petkovic wrote in a post on X.
