Escobar: We'll have the Association, if the government doesn't get involved, the discussion is done with alternative partners.

Escobar has said that if the government does not get involved in the process of establishing association, it will be done with alternative partners.

“We will have Association, we will be part of the process, and that process should include the Government of Kosovo. If not, we can conduct that discussion with alternative partners, with civil society, with youth groups, with the business community, with all who would like to see Serbia and Kosovo exiting this cycle of instability”, Escobar tells REL.

A stand for Association, Escobar, has also expressed it during his late - December 13 afternoon encounter with Kurt.

I also made clear my expectation that we will start to talk about implementing the Serb-based municipality Association. I made it very clear, so I hope that we will see commitment during this crisis in the near future”, Escobar declared after meeting with Kurti.
