Lajcak for the barricades: Take them off by political agreement

Lajcak said that after this meeting, he will also meet with KFOR and EULEX, but said the best way to remove the barricades is by political agreement, not bulldozers.

I will meet with KFOR and EULEX afterwards. I'm a diplomat, for me, the best way to remove the barricades is by political agreement, not with bulldozers”.

However, Lajcak said he had a long discussion with Prime Minister Kurti. He added that they cannot expect something bad to happen.

We have crisis, barricades and a difficult situation in northern Kosovo. I had a long discussion with Kurt. We can't expect something bad to happen. No one's happy with this situation in the north”.

The United States' special envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar was also present.
