In Brussels, I was greeted by news of Kurti's attack on Serbian institutions on a massive scale. A large number of our municipalities, social work centers, post offices are being forcibly closed... It is clear why Bisljimi did not appear in Brussels today. 1/2

I came with the delegation from Belgrade with the intention of solving the issue of missing persons today, while Kurti and Prishtina chose the path of violence and unilateral actions. This kind of terror calls dialogue itself into question. It is clear that Kurti is not the only one to blame for this. The responsibility also lies with the European Union," warned Petković.
