Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca stated that the Kosovo–Serbia Dialogue is currently in a “very difficult state.”
He made these remarks during a joint press conference in Pristina with his Belgian counterpart.
Konjufca called for the restoration of basic trust, emphasizing that those responsible for the terrorist attack in Banjska must be imprisoned.
“The dialogue today is in a very difficult condition, precisely because of what I have explained. How do we restore even a minimal level of trust? I am not asking for anything extraordinary—just something basic: the perpetrators of the terrorist act in Banjska, who killed Afrim Bunjaku, must be in prison. They must be behind bars. They cannot be key figures in Serbia or close associates of Aleksandar Vučić, as we see today. This is elementary, this is fundamental,” he said.
As a second reason for the lack of progress, Konjufca cited a letter sent by former Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabić to 27 EU member states, in which she reportedly did not recognize Kosovo’s territorial integrity.
His remarks come after the visit of the EU Special Envoy for the Kosovo–Serbia dialogue, Peter Sørensen, to Pristina, where he met Prime Minister Albin Kurti as part of efforts to revive the dialogue process.
