(4 years ago)Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, has said on Monday that in the evening hours he will meet in Belgrade with representatives of Kosovo Serbs, and that his request will be “peace preservation”. Vuciq said he would talk to them “all night and all morning”. “We should try to show [...]
Vuciq said he'd talk to them “all night and all morning”.
We should try to show that we didn't want conflicts for one second. If they protest, they should protest peacefully and democraticly. Let us do our utmost to maintain peace. We will respect Borrell's request (European Union Chief diplomat Josep). We're not going to make any news, nor are we going to publish”.
He has made these statements after meeting with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, under the European Union's mediation in Brussels, to discuss the issue of license plates. The meeting is over without agreement.
My main message will be to do our best to maintain peace”.
Vuciq has said that Serbia will do its best for Serbs in northern Kosovo to be safe, but if anyone thinks he can carry out “des, murders and injuries”, according to him, “Serbia will stay close to the Serbian people and will not leave it in the mud. ”
Among other things, the Serbian president has said that from the start of the first police change on November 22nd, a difficult period will begin, with sleepless nights.
Kosovo police have confirmed to Radio Free Europe that in the morning of November 22nd, after 8:00 a.m. respectively, they will begin presenting fines for citizens who have cars with what authorities in Kosovo consider illegal Serb license plates.
Proposal of the fine is part of the Kosovo Government's decision to reregister cars with Serbian illegal license plates at the RKS Republic of Kosovo.
The first phase has envisioned reproof, the second envisions fines, and is later envisioned setting up some pro-active plates. Under the Government's decision, after April 21st, there should be no more cars in Kosovo with such plates leaving Serbian authorities.
The United States has been urging Kosovo to postpone implementing the decision on Serbian illegal plates for 10 months.
But the Kosovo government has started implementing the decision on November 1st.
Prime Minister Kurti has said the European Union's proposal on the issue of Serbian illegal plates has been unacceptable, and that European Union mediators “have resigned from their proposal for normalising relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
According to him, the EU proposal, that Kosovo not begin with the pronunciation of fines, and that Serbia does not issue new license plates for Kosovo Serbs, is unacceptable “if it is not agreed urgently to engage in final agreements for normalisation of relations”.
