Head of Pristina's negotiating team in the dialogue with Belgrade Edita Tahiri has stated that Belgrade's negotiating team is trying to change the character of the dialogue and make it political.

According to the Pristina-based daily Koha Ditore, Tahiri reacted to the statements issued by Head of Belgrade's negotiating team Borko Stefanovic after his return from Pristina that the Serbian government will resolve the position of Kosovo Serbs in the course of the dialogue, and that Pristina lacks courage in making proposals.

“It is obvious that their so-called independence is not functioning in spite of the great support they get from the world's greatest powers,” Stefanovic said.

Tahiri views this statement as unhelpful for further dialogue.

I can see this as Serbia's attempt to give political character to the dialogue, although both governments have agreed in Brussels to discuss only technical issues, Tahiri said.
