Mustafa says he has demonstrated his and his party's concern about dialogue with Serbia, which, he says, should be guided “by institutions that have political and constitutional legitimacy”.
“As LDK chairman, I have written to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the foreign ministers of the 28 European Union countries.

Meanwhile, he finally said a similar letter had previously been forwarded to European People's Party Chairman Joseph Daul.
