Arifi: We have applied for relaunching talks with Serbia, but haven't received answers yet

The Kosovo Government's co-ordinator for dialogue with Serbia, Avni Arifi, told Radio Free Europe that the Kosovo delegation will present today the achievements in the dialogue process with Serbia, ahead of representatives of the European Union member states. He said the Kosovo delegation will announce the achievements, but [...]
He said the Kosovo delegation will announce the achievements, but also the impasses the Serb side is causing the process.
We're prepared, we'll talk about our commitments, but we'll also talk about the blockades we have. We have no knowledge whether the Serb side is at that meeting, but for the sake of informing the opinion, we do not have a meeting with the Serbian side”, Arifi said.
Dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, which is under way in separate rounds with the European Union's relief, is expected to continue, though the date of the next meeting has not yet been officially confirmed.
Arifi said the demands were made by the Kosovo side, but that the latter has not accepted an invitation so far.
“Two requirements have been made both in April and May, to resume negotiations and in the first place should be energy, we have not received answers yet. We've had an offer to come and hear the presentation of how far the results have been in drafting the statute, we haven't shown interest because there are higher priorities. For us, there is no less important and more important agreement, all agreements are more important and we are serious in this regard”, Arifi said.
The evental invitation from Brussels to continue the dialogue, Arifi underlines, should contain the topics for deadlocks in implementing all agreements reached. On the contrary, he says, the invitation will not make sense.
Kosovo institutions are insisting on implementing reached agreements, which, according to Pristina, are blocked by Belgrade.
First of all, energy deals are cited -- the one for the opening of the bridge over the Iber River, the return of cadastral documents, recognition of diplomas, and allowing the operation of rented facilities in northern Kosovo.
The Serbian side on the other side insists on the faster formation of the Association/United Serb-run municipalities.
