The spokesperson of the European Union, Peter Stano, confirmed that in the new high-level dialogue meeting between the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia, the agenda will be the approval of the Declaration on the missing and the first draft of the statute for the establishment will be presented of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority.

The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, will meet with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, on May 2 in Brussels, under the mediation of European officials.

Stano did not want to comment on the criticisms made by Serbian state leaders for the local elections that were held on April 23 in the Serb-majority north of Kosovo. He also did not comment on the complaints presented by Belgrade regarding the initiation of Kosovo's membership process in the Council of Europe.

"We discussed this issue extensively two days ago. I can repeat that we do not comment on the statements of the parties, but we expect them to focus on the implementation of the obligations they have before them. We expect that on Tuesday we will have the continuation of the dialogue, which is the only platform for discussion", said Stano.

Both Kurti and Vucic have confirmed their participation in the May 2 meeting.

"The meeting will focus on the implementation of the Agreement towards the normalization of relations. The first item on the agenda will be the approval of the Declaration on the missing. The second point will be the presentation of the first draft of the statute for the formation of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority. After these two topics, it will be seen whether other issues can be discussed", said Stano.

Asked how the process will move forward if there is no progress on the establishment of the Association during the May 2 meeting, Stano reiterated that the EU expects the parties to implement the obligations they have taken.

"Generally we don't speculate about what will happen if something doesn't happen. We expect the parties to be committed to implement the obligations. And, the formation of the Association is a clear obligation. We expect to move forward and we, as facilitators, expect the obligations that the parties have undertaken to be implemented," said Stano.

The May 2 meeting will take place at a time when Kosovo has accused Serbia of violating the Agreement towards the normalization of relations, reached earlier this month.

Serbia has voted against Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe, despite the fact that with the Agreement towards normalization it has pledged not to prevent Pristina from joining international organizations. Also, officials in Belgrade have warned that they will apply the measure of reciprocity to the states that do not respect its territorial integrity.

According to the Serbian Constitution, Kosovo is considered part of Serbia. This warning of Serbia for reciprocity, in Kosovo, has been described as a violation of the Agreement towards the normalization of relations, reached under the mediation of the EU and the support of the United States. REL
