Lajcak did not convince them, Kurti and Vuciq reject meeting

The EU's emissary for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, has failed to persuade them of a quick meeting. RTK correspondent from Brussels in direct connection from Brussels said the European Union is considering measures that will be taken against the parties that refuse to deceleration the situation in northern Kosovo.

She said official Brussels is taking very seriously this situation and is very concerned, as far as EU Chief for Foreign Policy and Security Josep Borrell today spoke about the situation in Kosovo, after a meeting had nothing to do with Kosovo.

“He said he has urged Kosovo authorities to suspend police activities in municipalities in the north, while calling on protesters to disrupt violent protests but does not refer to ethnic affiliation, even though in the first request it was clear that it concerns Kosovo's north”, journalist Tuhina said.

According to her, never on Brussels orders refer to what the mayors of the elected municipalities should do, but it was told that it is working directly with them through ambassadors for steps they should take.

However, it is said that even mayors are under pressure from official Pristina, so as one official here put it, all pressure is now on Prime Minister Albin Kurti”, Tuhina said.

She recalled that the chief of European diplomacy has confirmed that late last night it has discussed both with Serbian President Vuciq and this morning with Kosovo Prime Minister Kurti and that an emergency meeting of leaders is being done.

The ideal case was for the meeting to be held in Bratislava, where an international conference is being held, but it seems all efforts have failed because Kurti, who was part of the panel and did the same, has failed.

According to Tuhina, there is no readiness for the parties to meet ad-hoc for tomorrow.

“Lajcak appears to have failed to convince parties”.
