Head of the Serbian negotiating team for talks with the provisional institutions of self-government in Pristina Borislav Stefanovic stated today that in the continuation of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina he put forward a detailed plan on the freedom of movement in Kosovo-Metohija which is fully harmonised with EU standards.

Stefanovic told Radio Belgrade in a statement that there can be no talk about "regulating the relations between states" in the context of the dialogue.

Naturally, there can be no talk about or comparisons between states that have not regulated their relations, bearing in mind that Kosovo is not a state, he noted.

Stefanovic explained that the Belgrade negotiating team laid out concrete proposals which will enable citizens to move freely, as well as to facilitate communication in the province and with our residents there.

Over the period ahead, we will face serious tasks to continue the talks, he observed.

We do not want to step down or give up on our proposals, but we will keep putting forward new ones, proposals that will preserve Serbia’s sovereignty and be in harmony with the European practice, Stefanovic underlined.
