In an interview Lajcak gave for Radio Free Europe and Euronews Serbia, the first since Kurti and Vuciq agreed to implement the EU Agreement, on March 18th in Ohrid he underlined that both sides must implement all provisions of the Agreement towards normalising relations.
Article 4, which says Serbia will not oppose Kosovo's membership in any international organisation, is also part of it.
Lajcak stressed that Kosovo has the obligation to start immediately with implementation of part of the agreement related to the formation of the Serb majority municipalities in Kosovo.
He acknowledged that the EU had a more ambitious plan: signing the agreement on normalisation and a draft of timelines and clear tasks.
But, he said the leaders of the two countries have failed to agree on each point and that the Serbian president has refused to sign the document. So the proposal has changed.
