Talks in Brussels started; Petkovic with Sørensen

Petković's conversation with EU mediator Peter Sørensen and his team is ongoing.

The Belgrade delegation arrived in Brussels last night.

Petković previously emphasized several times that Belgrade will insist on the formation of the Community of Serbian Municipalities and the de-escalation of the situation on the ground within the framework of the dialogue.

The new round of dialogue in Brussels comes just two days before the start of the pre-election campaign for local elections in AP Kosovo and Metohija.

The last round of dialogue was held on June 10 in Brussels, and Petkovic said then that during the meeting he spoke about the terror of the Prime Minister of the temporary institutions of Pristina, Albin Kurti, towards the Serbs, especially in the north.

"I spoke about the arrests, the persecution of the representatives of the Serbian people embodied in the representatives of the Serb List and about other issues such as those that have disappeared. The topics of the conversation were also MTS and energy. But the most important thing is that the CSM must be formed and the discussion about the statute of the CSM must continue. Pristina did not want to continue discussing this issue. Afterwards, a terrible decision was made to extinguish the dinar. We need to discuss the statute and the formation of the CSM. I also talked about the shutdown of Serbian institutions and the fact that the Serbian people were deprived of them. Our job is to fight for the Serbian people", said the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija at the time.
