The agreement was made with the consent of both sides: What Lajcak said about the signing Kurti keeps mentioning

In the interview given yesterday exclusively for Express, EU dialogue representative Miroslav Lajcak replied:

I believe I have already answered that question. As I said earlier, Prime Minister Kurti demanded that the Agreement for the Road to Normalisation, its Anexi, as well as the Stattuti, be signed by Kosovo and Serbia. We respect that requirement and have considered the matter again. After consulting with international lawyers, we have offered options for Kosovo. Our discussion on this subject continues.

The issue of signing the Agreement on the road to normalisation was only a topic during negotiations in Ohrid in March, where no proposed option for signing was acceptable to both sides.

Therefore, with the consent of both sides, we formed the agreement through a statement by the High Representative. This is completely in line with the Vienna Convention on Traffic Law. The EU has said publicly many times that the agreement is legally binding and valid. In this context, I would have to repeat the position of the EU, but also of the US, that formal issues such as the way of approval should not hinder the implementation process. After all, the parties will be assessed on the basis of the implementation record, not the method of formalisation. Lack of signing is not the reason it hinders implementation but is the lack of political will.” /Periscopi
