Vuciq meets QUINT ambassadors for Kosovo

At the meeting, launched shortly after ten o'clock, US ambassadors, Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany, Christopher Hill, Edward Ferguson, Pierre Cauchard, Luca Gori, Anke Konard, and the head of the European Union's delegation to Belgrade, Emmanuel Giffre, attended.

As Serbian public television reports, RTS, also at the meeting, has been the director of the Office for Kosovo, Petar Petkov.

The discussion of the meeting has been the political situation in Kosovo.

The meeting, held Wednesday morning, followed a post by Vuciqi the previous day in Instagram, where he wrote that difficult days await Serbia.

It is not easy at this moment to say what news we have received in the last 48 hours... They directly threaten our vital national interests, both of Serbia and Srrpska. In the coming days, I will inform Serbia's people of all the challenges facing us”, says his message published on March 26th.

In Brussels on Monday, the meeting of Kosovo and Serbia's chief negotiators on the issue of the Serbian dinar -- whose use as a cash payment tool -- has been banned in Kosovo since last month.

A new round of dialogue, as warned, will be held on April 4th.

The use of dinars for cash payments in Kosovo has been banned since 1 February, when the Kosovo Central Bank issued a decision to implement regulation, which defines the euro as the country's only currency for cash payments.

The issue also caused disagreement between the Government of Kosovo and the international community, as the Serb community in Kosovo has been receiving payment in dinars from Serbia's budget for years.

Western diplomats urged Kosovo to suspend the decree to give citizens affected time to adapt to the new practice.

In a recent interview for Radio Free Europe, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said that proposals for dinar, which clash with the Kosovo Central Bank decree, will not be accepted.

The parties had until 22 March to submit their proposals to discuss the March 25th meeting. /rel/
