May 20, 2024 - In a statement on Monday, Peter Stano, spokesperson for the European Union (EU), emphasized Kosovo's obligation to establish the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities. Stano stated that Kosovo must fulfill this obligation as it stems from the 2013 Dialogue Agreement, which the Kosovo Parliament ratified.
Stano highlighted the importance of Kosovo presenting and discussing the formation of the association within the dialogue process. Stano emphasized that the dialogue process and Kosovo's bid for Council of Europe (CoE) membership are two separate things. He stressed that both the EU and the Council of Europe prioritize upholding the rule of law, human rights, and protecting minority rights.
Regarding the proposed statute for the association, Stano noted that the Kosovo government has not shared its details with Serbia or the EU mediator. Therefore, it remains unclear whether the proposed statute aligns with previous agreements.
