Serbia's Parliament Speaker Ivica Dacic said Belgrade has never given up on the position that there can be no progress in dialogue with Pristina until obligations from the Brussels Agreement are met and the Association of Serb-run municipalities is established.
Daciq told the K1 television that it is good that Serbia's President, Aleksandar Vuciq, noted this again during meeting with the European Union's Special Envoy for Dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Miroslav Lajcak, and thus disclosed that Belgrade does not change its positions in dialogue and that it will insist on it, the Bank Kosovo broadcasts.
“We have never given up on this, it is an old platform, it is our call, which since the signing of the Brussels Agreement, we have repeatedly stressed towards European institutions,” said Dacic.
He estimated that the EU has double standards and cited as an example the last elections in Kosovo, which, he remembers, were held for the first time without foreign observers and the O Mission SBE.
“Is Kosovo ideal of democracy, why didn't someone come here to talk about interparty dialogue? Because there are double standards”, he added.
He reiterated that Belgrade's positions are clear from the very beginning, that there will be no continuing negotiations until the issue of association is resolved.
“There is nothing to talk about, they also signed it and (then the chief of EU diplomacy) Catherine Ashton. I think European institutions guarantee something”, Dacic stressed.
