Ivica Dacic
It was positive to see a large number of Serbs cast ballots in the recent snap parliamentary elections in Kosovo and vote for the Serb List party, as the List represented a connection with Serbia, parliament speaker Ivica Dacic said on Feb. 16, noting that no government in Pristina “is pleasing to the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija,” but their interest was to be represented in the institutions.
Dacic told TV Pink that by winning all ten seats in the Kosovo assembly allocated for the Serbs, the Serb List had become a factor which could not be avoided during the formation of a new cabinet.”
Asked to comment on the fact that the largest number of ballots had been collected by the Self-Determination party, the leader of which, Albin Kurti, had said that the resumption of the dialogue with Belgrade was not his priority, Dacic said that he was not “surprised with the statement,” adding that if Kurti had formed a cabinet, the time ahead “would not be easy for the dialogue.”
Dacic stressed it was important to preserve “peace and stability in the region and to honor the agenda which is sustainable at this time,” such as free movement of goods and persons.
