Belgrade says Minister Gervala allowed entry into Serbia

As media reports in Serbia, this office has said they are absolutely inaccurate the claims of several Albanian portals and Pristina officials that Belgrade has not allowed today's visit of Minister Donika Grovalla Schwarz in Bujanoc and Presevo.

“After the agreement on official visits, every visit between Belgrade and Pristina officials is considered approved if not specifically prohibited with paperwork, so Donika Grovalla Schwarz's request has been treated positively. Also, the liaison official representing Belgrade orally told his colleague, Pristina's liaison official in Belgrade today, that Gervala Schwarz's visit to central Serbia has been approved and that she can visit municipalities mentioned in line with the valid agreement and without signs of status”, the office's statement said.

The same says it also testifies to the e-mail with which Pristina's liaison official thanked today Belgrade's liaison official for the approval of the visit, but that the same email this office has not published.

Therefore, we urge media and officials in Pristina not to cheat opinion and present inaccurate information. Belgrade is the one who consistently respects the agreements and engages in normalising relations, and no false charge by Pristina can break this”, according to the “Danitas”.

In a statement during the day for “Zrin”, Kosovo Foreign Minister Donika Grovalla Schwarz said that it was not allowed to enter Serbia in connection with the visit warned for today in eastern Kosovo.

We requested permission. The visit has failed because of Belgrade's dishonest games. The visit will, however, be tried to realise at another time of”, the MPJ said.
