But this is not a meeting where the chief negotiator should go...”, since he changed the words Besnik Bislimi for the Serbian dinar.

At this meeting, Lajcak announced that he has been discussing the issue of the Serbian dinar -- a decision made by the CEC, where this sovereign decision of Kosovo “would not send Bisimi to Brussels to discuss at a table with Petkoviqi”.

However, this is not a meeting where the chief negotiator should go because the dinar issue is not part of the dialogue. I go when he talks about the Basic Agreement. So we'll see who wants to go talk about the dinar, but it's not from the chief negotiator's team”, It was Beslim's words following the open invitation Lajcak sent to Kosovo and Serbia for a meeting in Brussels.

Otherwise, Miroslav Lajcak announced today just a few minutes after he left his meeting with Besnik Bissim.

He announced he would invite Kosovo and Serbia for a new round of dialogue at the level of chief negotiators on the issue of stopping the Serbian dinar on Kosovo territory.

“I plan to organise another meeting at the level of chief negotiators in the coming days, so that's also the main reason for the visit to Pristina”, stated the Slovak emissary after the meeting he held with the chief negotiator team of the Kosovar side, where, among other things, the next “steps to implement existing agreements between Kosovo and Serbia were discussed.

“The meeting was constructive, as it was in Brussels. We had some questions about the steps overstepping delegation competencies in Brussels. This visit was part of the regular meetings we had at the meetings of the heads of delegations of both countries”Lajcak said.

We will analyze the answers to this matter. It's a process, and we have to make sure that people are not negatively affected by the decision on the currency issue”.

BQC's currency regulation

The new regulation of the Kosovo Central Bank (BQK), which was released on January 17th and entered into force on February 1st, makes the euro the only payment money in Kosovo.

It prompted reactions from the Serbian community that accept payment in dinars from Serbia since the post-war in 1999.

Part of the international community asked the Kosovo government to withdraw this decision, while another part asked to postpone it until citizens were better informed.

The CEC said the transition phase of its regulation implementation cannot last more than three months.

Concern is how Kosovo has had a partnership break with the main ally, the United States of America. This has been said several times in a short time by American Ambassador to Kosovo Jeffrey Hovenier himself, who even had “impacted” in front of the heads of state for such a risk.

“We have hoped that Prime Minister Albin Kurti's government would engage, as partners do, to resolve this issue together, rather than take actions unilaterally... we are concerned that Kurt's Government has not done so. Whatever suggestion things are okay, that we all agree with each other, it's not true at all. We're worried and frustrated and I think the tone of Assistant Secretary O'Brien reflects this very clearly”, Said Havener. /Periscopi/
