After meeting with Prime Minister Albin Kurti, EU envoy for the dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, said that now is the time for high-level meetings between Kosovo and Serbia, so that these meetings can lead to a final agreement. This is the moment of moment, Lajcak said, and the EU, does not want to lose this moment.

We want to use this moment, we're working on a high-level meeting that will address normalisation and we want this meeting held within weeks.

I can get back here soon to make sure the meeting happens.

We don't want to waste time, we don't want to pressure but we don't want to waste time”, Lajcak said, I follow Periscope.

He said that at this meeting, he wanted to hear from Prime Minister Kurti how he would act further with the situation in the north.

“I took advantage of the meeting to discuss with Prime Minister Kurti and the situation in the north following the withdrawal of members of the Serb community from the Kosovo police and jurisdiction, and I wanted to hear from him how he will act further and also preparations for local elections.

We also touch the energy issue, we have an agreement that has not been implemented yet. We have also discussed the case of missing persons”, Lajcak said, I follow Periscope.

“We have a normal situation that is positive and we want to use this situation for normalising reports between Kosovo and Serbia.

I've discussed this issue about the return of Serbs even with Wuciqi and Kurti, we have a serious security vacuum, it's not a good question, it should have come back to that area as soon as possible, and that's what I wanted to hear from both sides.

We are happy to help the parties to return to the normal situation. Regarding the continuation of the dialogue, there will be meetings within weeks. The weather is now, but it won't always be here, so we don't want to overlook this” moment, Lajcak said.

Final agreement in March? Lajcak: I'm not a deadline man.

Mr Lajcak was also asked about an agreement on normalisation of reports between Kosovo and Serbia, has been talked about being long-term for March. But he said, he's not a man of the deadline and we'll see what happens in March.

“As far as deadlines are concerned, I'm not a deadline man, but we'll see in March what happens. What's important now is that both sides -- Kosovo and Serbia -- have agreed to meetings and will discuss all the questions we have”, he said.

As for the Association of Serbian municipalities, Mr. Lajcak reiterated his recognised position, that it is a obligation Kosovo has taken over in the process of dialogue and that this obligation must implement.

“One thing is very clear, that in the process of dialogue both sides have taken over obligations, some of them are implemented and some are not, but it is important that all be implemented, otherwise dialogue would not be successful”, he said.
