Responsibility on Pristina, those who influence it

Djuric said in an RTS broadcast that Serbia will never renounce its goals established by the Platform and the parliamentary Resolution on Kosovo, because, by defending the association of Serb municipalities, Serbia is defending the Serb community's right to survival in Kosovo. The presidential advisor also said that informal papers circulated from different sides in the previous months, but added that nobody asked Belgrade or Pristina to formally commit themselves to these documents. "In the next round of the dialogue, we expect to see in writing the European Commission's positions as a mediator, but also to hear, or read, that Pristina has moved at least an inch relative to the starting point in the negotiations, which was very rigid and did not leave any room for a compromise," Djuric said. He qualified as very interesting the appearance of different "non-paper" documents in the media and said he does not know who "the author of these fake papers" is. According to him, it is possible that someone wanted to see what both official and unofficial circles in Belgrade think about some of the solutions mentioned in the papers. "It is also possible that someone, from circles close to Pristina or I do not know to whom, wants to lower the expectations of our public in a way. Our goal and state policy are not written in some "non-papers" or informal documents, but in the Resolution and in the Platform, and all state bodies and officials will stick to that until the end," Djuric concluded. Djuric: SNS supports Vucic assuming top offices Marko Djuric, a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) Presidency, said Tuesday that the party supports its leader Aleksandar Vucic in his intent to take over the highest state offices, but it is still early to say in what direction the government reshuffle will go. "We will discuss concrete solutions at sessions of our main board, where we will also analyze the work of our officials who are part of state institutions and the overall political situation, and decide on our future moves," Djuric told Radio Television of Serbia when asked whether a government reshuffle would include the prime minister's seat. He said it is still too early to say in what direction the government reshuffle will go.
