“Serbia keeps insisting on new negotiations with Kosovo because joint European future awaits all communities,” Goran Bogdanovic was quoted as saying. “We wish to solve problems through talks, we want peace, because there cannot be happiness for anybody, not only in Kosovo, but also in Serbia, in the entire Balkans,” the minister for Kosovo said. Kosovo minister: Serbia favors new negotiations “But talks are difficult when you have a party which got everything it asked for and Serbs on the other side who lost everything,” KIM Radio from Caglavica reported, according to FoNet. “We must find a compromise, we have to solve common problems, because joint European future awaits all communities,” the minister said. He pointed out that “European values and future” could not be fought for in a way the government in Pristina was doing. “You cannot fight for the European values if there is no freedom of movement for all communities, if there is no legal protection, if not a single culprit for any ethnic crime which happened in the last ten years has been solved.“ “It is up to authorities in Pristina to find those perpetrators,” Bogdanovic said. “The integration of the Serbian community into the Kosovo society and Kosovo institutions cannot be requested without doing anything for this ethnic community, for this people,” we went on to say. Speaking about the implemented decentralization and newly formed municipalities, the minister emphasized that the Serbian government had nothing against the decentralization, but that it could not accept the decentralization that had been carried out in Kosovo. “We have precisely been insisting on decentralization, it is necessary for us, we need new municipalities, but we need to know first what the boundaries of the new municipality are and many other details that have not been taken care of at all in this process,” the minister concluded.
