Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija Head Marko Djuric on Aug. 25 said that the position of Belgrade’s delegations at meetings in Washington and Brussels would be within the frameworks defined by the Serbian Constitution and U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244.

“We are going with a very clear position. As (Serbian) President Aleksandar Vucic has said – do not dream about the story of Kosovo’s independence. Let us discuss practical issues, cooperation, and that is what we will absolutely do,” Djuric told TV Pink.

Djuric reminded that before the Belgrade and Pristina meeting in Washington, the next round of the technical level dialogue would be held in Brussels, with him at the helm of the Belgrade delegation.

“We will discuss economic cooperation, again at the next meeting in Brussels. The issue of the missing and displaced persons will also be on the table, and we will insist on creating conditions for the return of Serbs to their homes,” Djuric said about the next round of the technical level dialogue.

Djuric also said he would use the opportunity to hear the EU’s position on the meeting in Washington, noting that he was scheduled to meet with the EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.
