Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has announced that he met with EU Envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Peter Sorensen, in Prague, where he is attending the GLOBSEC Forum.
In an Instagram post, Vučić stated that he discussed the continuation of the dialogue with Sorensen and claimed to be committed to “peace” and “finding compromise solutions.”
“A meaningful and constructive conversation with Peter Sorensen, on the continuation of the EU-facilitated dialogue, regional challenges, and maintaining peace and stability in the Western Balkans. I emphasized that Serbia is fully committed to finding compromise solutions through dialogue, with full respect for international partners and with a clear understanding of the interests of our people,” Vučić wrote.
Vučić further stated that during his conversation with Sorensen, he highlighted that “for the continuation of the dialogue, it is crucial to return to the neglected foundations of any further conversation, such as the formation of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities.“
“I am grateful to Special Representative Sorensen for his seriousness, professionalism, and sincere dedication to peace and cooperation, as well as for the support that the EU offers Serbia on its European path. We are convinced that only with mutual respect and responsibility can we ensure a better and more stable future for all citizens of the region,” he added.
However, during his speech at the GLOBSEC forum, Vučić also stated that “Belgrade is not ready to recognize Kosovo’s independence.”
