Hot for Lajcak: I don't understand the EU mediator in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, what are you mediating?

Hoti said Serbia has not changed approach. It adds that the Serbian side's statements are of concern for long-term peace in the region.

Serbia's intervention in the daily life of the Serb community in Kosovo continues. Serbia's illegal structures in Kosovo have been re-activated”, Hoti said.

Hoti also criticised the European Union. He said the European Union is continuing with the approach of “constructive integrity” in terms of dialogue.

The current government of the Republic of Kosovo has inherited a process of clearly defined dialogue, with platforms prepared in a comprehensive process within Kosovo and agreed with partners, which had clearly defined the principles and goals of dialogue. The approach of the preliminary government had turned the dialogue on track after two years of deadlock on track leading only to a mutual recognition conclusion. As the opposition representative, I have repeatedly asked the Kosovo government to keep the dialogue on those” rails, Hoti said.

In the end, it has criticised the EU's Special Envoy for the dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.

“We don't understand what the EU mediator is mediating in this dialogue. With all due respect for Mr. Lajcak, he is not there to open offices in Brussels when the parties agree to meet. He's not there to carry messages from one side to the next. He is there to ensure that progress is being made towards the final agreement on mutual recognition”, Hoti said.
