BELGRADE, March 18 – RIA Novosti. Chairman of North Macedonia’s OSCE Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani backed the EU-US proposal during the Kosovo settlement talks, which are taking place in the city of Kosovo on Saturday. Ohrid, North Macedonia. Negotiations between Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and self-proclaimed Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, with the participation of European diplomat Josef Borrell and special representative for Belgrade-Pristina dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, have been taking place in Ohrid for more than 10 hours. The topic of discussion is the implementation plan for the US-European settlement proposal in Kosovo. In the afternoon, Lajcak and US Under-Secretary of State Gabriel Escobar met with the OSCE Chairmanship of North Macedonian Minister Osmani, an ethnic Albanian. “We talked about the importance of reaching an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia and the valuable help of the EU and the United States. Ohrid Agreement (on a ceasefire between the separatists Albanians and the Macedonian authorities in 2001 – editor’s note), Friendship Agreement (Sofia and Skopje 2017 – ed.) and the Prespa Agreement (Athens and Skopje on the renaming of North Macedonia in 2018 – ed. ) illustrate that a solution through dialogue is possible,” North Macedonia’s Foreign Minister wrote on Twitter. On Saturday evening, Vučić announced that he “won’t sign anything in Ohrid”. Earlier, he said that the EU has not yet delivered to Belgrade its plan for the implementation of the settlement in Kosovo in accordance with the Euro-American proposal. In Belgrade, right-wing patriotic opposition parties staged mass actions against the EU proposal on Friday night with a procession through the city center and a rally demanding the resignation of the president and government. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell previously released the full text of the US-backed EU proposal, with clauses on mutual recognition of state documents and symbols and the refusal of Belgrade to prevent Pristina from joining international organizations. Lajcak said Wednesday evening that the proposal has been accepted by the parties and published, it remains to approve the program for its “full implementation”. He added that the EU and US leaders are also insisting on the formation by the Kosovo Albanian authorities of a community of Serb communities with rights of autonomy in the province in accordance with the Brussels agreement. of 2013. US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Gabriel Escobar indicated last Thursday that he did not expect the document to be signed during the March 18 talks in North Macedonia on the settlement of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. During a meeting with the President of Serbia on March 18, the Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo declared his readiness to approve a program for the implementation of the Euro-American settlement plan. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on March 11 that he would not sign a surrender, support self-declared Kosovo’s membership in the UN, or recognize its independence.
