The EU has sent a message to Belgrade, Pristina, and the countries of the Western Balkans demanding that an agreement reached last month be respected. The agreement, reached during the EU-sponsored Kosovo dialogue, concerns representation of Kosovo in regional gatherings. "EU demanding for Kosovo deal to be honored" The organization reacted after delegations of Belgrade and Pristina left three different conferences in the past several days, with Serbian government representatives accusing those of Pristina authorities of breaking the deal. Beta news agency is quoting an unnamed "high EU official" as saying that "very clear messages that that the agreement must be respected have been sent to all sides". Asked whether the walkouts meant that the regional representation deal was being "circumvented", the official responded by saying that it was "absolutely in the interest of all sides and the countries of the Western Balkans for the Brussels agreement to be respected". This source further stressed that the agreement was "completely clear, unequivocal, and officially published". However, he also noted that representatives of the government in Belgrade "made a mistake" when they immediately left the two meetings where Kosovo was not represented according to the deal. Instead, said the EU official, "they should have insisted for the agreed upon manner of representing Kosovo to be fully respected". Beta
