He pointed out that it would be frivolous for the new government to annul the agreements that had already been reached.

"We will do our best to insist on a maximal status neutrality of the Kosovo customs and that they act only according to the fact that Kosovo is a special customs territory, just like Hong Kong is a special customs territory within China," Pavicevic told daily the press .

He added that Serbia would insist the most on EULEX's role. According to him, Serbia has caused a counter-effect by not implementing the agreements that have been reached.

"If we annul any agreement, we will get a very simple thing - there will be no further dialogue," the team chief noted, adding that he would not make any decisions without the government's consent.
