“The Albanian delegation does not want to fulfil agreements [made at earlier meetings], they do not want to talk about the Union of Serbian Municipalities [to represent Serbs' interests in Kosovo], they insistently and instantly demanded when will we recognise an independent Kosovo, and they described the fact that Serbs want to attend liturgies in their churches [in Kosovo] as incidents and provocations. [Kurti] told me: 'I came to ask you when you will recognize an independent Kosovo.' My answer was 'Never!' Then he blew up.”

“Kosovo is ready for talks to reach mutual recognition with Serbia. I believe it will depend on how Serbia will behave in the dialogue and what it thinks about its European Union membership since it cooperates with Russia both economically and militarily.”

“We need to sit and talk with US President Biden’s team, to see what they think about those issues which were reached as pledges, not as an agreement. There are questions over issues such as the Ujmani lake and other political issues about which we need to see what the Biden administration’s position is. I am not prejudging because I am not one of those who think that new administration will just throw this agreement in the bin.”

“The Govt of Kosovo expresses its deep disappointment with statements of senior Serbian officials, who openly continue to show lack of respect for the victims of the recent war in Kosovo and their families, who desperately look for their relatives abducted by Serbian forces.”

“That was discussed [moving the Serbian embassy in Israel to Jerusalem]… The next steps will, of course, be discussed and it all depends … on Israel’s actions after that. We have not accepted anything so far, nothing has been signed. We will see how the situation develops and how Israel will behave in the future when it comes to their relationship with Kosovo.”

“They thought we should call on Israel to recognize Kosovo, and we said we couldn’t because it undermines our policy. We said that if Israel and Pristina agree on that – fine. We also told Israel that if they respect Serbia, then our country will move the embassy to Jerusalem.”

“We are focused on supporting the process led by the European Union, which should lead to an agreement between Serbia and Kosovo. The story of the exchange of territories, or any other potential aspect of the agreement, diverts attention from a key goal: for Serbia and Kosovo and their governments to sit down and work on finding a way to normalize relations. We support that process – so I think it is irrelevant and disruptive to talk about issues such as the exchange of territories. We need to dedicate ourselves to what needs to be done in order for the participants in the negotiations to progress towards a comprehensive agreement which would, once and for all, put an end to the dispute.”

“I considered this discrimination and that the slanderous calling of 'Siptars' was detrimental to the relations that we want to build in the future with Kosovo, with Albania, and with the Albanians who live here in Serbia. In this fragile relationship and the difficult political situation in which Serbia is today regarding Kosovo, every incident and every time Albanians are called Siptars is bad. But it’s even worse when high officials of Serbia, especially the minister of defense, contributes not only to the deterioration of relations with Kosovo, but also to the rise in hatred toward ethnic Albanians.”
