Lajcak cut off before the visit: Kurt well knows final agreement can be carried out in a few months

But in advance, Lajcak has said there is enough space for Kosovo and Serbia to agree on bilateral relations.

He said that during his visit to Kosovo and Serbia, he would like to hear the answer to the question of when the dialogue will continue in Brussels.

“It is no secret that I expect the EU to continue dialogue and that for Pristina and Belgrade, dialogue is inevitable on the road to the EU. The European Union is here, we are ready when it will happen. I expect to hear the answer during this visit”, Lajcak said.

Lajcak said he was not coming with any ultimatum for anyone and that the European Union is to help.

The goal of the dialogue is to support both Pristina and Belgrade and bring European future closer to the entire region”, he said.

Asked about the constructive engagement of the new Kosovo government, which is expected to be represented by the election winner, Albin Kurti, Lajcak praised that Kurti knows what is expected of him and that his first statements for continuing the dialogue should not be dramatised.

“He was chosen to resolve some internal Kosovo issues, such as corruption, justice and social affairs, and he knows very well that the International Community, the EU and the US expect dialogue to continue and he is ready for this”, Lajcak told Serbian media.

Lajcak said the goal of dialogue is to normalise relations to agree what is actually normal.

Asked where you see the area of compromise in a dialogue where Pristina insists on mutual recognition, and Belgrade says there will be no recognition, Lajcak said he sees room for agreement and normalisation.

There is room for normalisation of relations and there is room for reaching an agreement that will resolve all open issues and accelerate the European roads of Kosovo and Serbia. I am absolutely convinced of this”, he added.

Lajcak stressed that the goal is to reach a comprehensive agreement that will resolve all open issues between the two sides, including agreements on new issues, but also agreements already reached that have not been implemented.

The “Granants of that comprehensive agreement will be both sides and the European Union. There will be a mechanism that will regularly control the fulfillment of all agreements by the comprehensive agreement. The agreement is not the end of the European integration path, but the end of an important phase, after which there is progress on the European road, which depends on fulfillment”, Lajcak said.

He said he continues to stand behind the assessment that it is possible to reach the final comprehensive agreement between Pristina and Belgrade “within several months”, but stresses that the EU will not be the one to decide when it will be.

Lajcak added that the European Union will not decide when it will be and that it is another decision that directly depends on the readiness and desire of Pristina and Belgrade.

“I was chosen to be available to Belgrade and Pristina 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but position I The EU is clear, we will not artificially speed up or slow it down arithmically. Not in the interest of the EU or the” region, Lajcak concluded
