Dialogue vucinq: With Pristina we have 48 agreements, not 33, as Kurti says

He at a joint press conference with Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhii said he hopes talks between Belgrade and Pristina could be serious discussions of the responsible people.

He stressed that this always required two sides, and that Belgrade, until now, always acted seriously and responsibly.

I am a harsh and very pragmatic realist. I do not expect anything, I hope we can have serious discussions with responsible people, but always requiring two sides,” said Vuciq, questioned whether he expected better co-operation with Albin Kurti than with former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.

Vuciq stressed that Belgrade acted seriously and responsibly in the past period, and that he was not sure that everyone -- even in Europe -- behaved this way, especially not the Albanian side, which, he reminded, was not committed to the Brussels agreement.

“I hope they understand better than how many deals we have, because I have heard that the newly appointed prime minister in Pristina has said we have 33 agreements. I want to inform him that we have 48 agreements, “said Vuciq.

Regarding the tax imposed by the former Haradinaj government in November 2018, President Vuciq said he expects nothing.

I expect nothing, and I hope it will be allowed for Serbian products after a year and three or four months after trade with Serbia is terminated,” said Vuciq.

He said as a consequence of the tax on Serbian goods, official Belgrade has lost hundreds of millions of euros.
