BELGRADE – European Union Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina 
Dialogue Peter Sørensen visited Belgrade today, where he met with Serbian 
President Aleksandar Vučić and the Director of the Government Office for KiM 
Petar Petković.

Vučić told Sørensen that Kosovo’s enhanced military cooperation with Albania 
and Croatia further raises tensions and threatens the security of the Serbian 
people.

 “I particularly pointed to the challenges we face as far as the position of 
the Serbian people in Kosovo is concerned and expressed concern about 
Pristina’s intentions to start implementing new escalatory and deeply 
discriminatory decisions, which directly threaten the survival of the Serbian 
people, on 15 March”, Vučić said.

He also urged the international community “to understand the seriousness of 
these issues and to do everything to ensure respect for the rights of the 
Serbian people”.

He expressed his belief that “it is in the interest of all parties to avoid 
moves that would lead to further escalation and, with the mediation of the EU, 
to insist on the full implementation of the undertaken obligations and the 
preservation of peace and stability on the ground”.

In his meeting with Sørensen, Petar Petković pointed to the consequences that 
may affect the Serbian people, if the Government in Pristina, on 15 March, 
starts the implementation of the so-called laws on foreigners and motor 
vehicles.

“These discriminatory regulations directly threaten more than 10,000 Serbs 
living and working in Kosovo and Metohija, endanger basic human and civil 
rights, the right to work, the right to freedom of movement, the right to 
family life, health care and education”, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija 
said in a statement.

Prior to his arrival in Belgrade, Peter Sørensen visited Kosovo, where he met 
Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca, the new head of 
the team for the technical negotiations with Serbia in the Brussels Dialogue.

“Visited Kosovo for good discussions with PM  Kurti and newly appointed FM 
Konjufca. We focused on advancing the normalisation of relations with Serbia, 
implementing commitments, and ensuring stability and progress on the European 
path”, Sørensen stated on X.
