There was no mention of license plates, at least according to the announcement. Instead, Vučić concluded that it is Prishtina that is not fulfilling the obligations it has assumed
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić met on Wednesday with the European Union's special envoy for dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina and other regional issues, Miroslav Lajčak. According to the press release issued by the Presidency, there was no discussion about the acute problem with license plates, the deadline for which is to be resolved tomorrow. The topic of the meeting was "the continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, especially on the importance of the Brussels Agreement that was signed nine years ago".
The impression of the President of Serbia is that, even after nine years, there is still no progress in the implementation of the obligations assumed by Prishtina, primarily in connection with the establishment of the Union of Serbian Municipalities. Vučić added that he "expects that the agreements reached will be respected and implemented in full."
Miroslav Lajčak stated that he will continue to "fully engage in the continuation of the dialogue under the auspices of the European Union without further delay" and added that EU members expect the two sides to implement everything that was agreed within the dialogue process in the last ten years.
Exactly nine years have passed since Belgrade and Pristina in Brussels, under the mediation of the European Union, reached the first agreement on future relations, which was called the Brussels Agreement. Although there has been some progress over the years, the Union of Serbian Municipalities (USO) is the biggest obstacle to further talks, although there are also the issues of missing persons, cadastre and in the last six months, and license plates.
The spokesperson of the European Union, Peter Stano, said yesterday that it is time to move forward and that the dialogue process on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina "successfully ends". "The EU and its member states expect rapid progress from both sides, as well as for Belgrade and Pristina to seriously engage in it." The EU and member states also expect both sides to fully implement all agreements already reached."
