Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija Petar Petkovic has met Ambassador of Italy to Serbia Carlo Lo Cascio and expressed clear expectation that the international community will influence Pristina in order for Serbian elections to be held in Kosovo as before, with the support of the OSCE, which would enable Serbs there to vote on April 3 and thus exercise their civil and democratic rights, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced.

Petkovic informed his interlocutor about the latest events in Kosovo, with special emphasis on the recent situation when Serbs in Kosovo were prevented from voting in the referendum on changing the Serbian Constitution, which he said was the most flagrant violation of human and civil rights of the Serb people.

The director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija also touched on yesterday's unfounded accusations coming from political leaders in Pristina, that Belgrade "blocks the dialogue" and that there is a "long list" of agreements that Belgrade allegedly has not implemented.

In that context, Petkovic recalled that Belgrade has implemented all the obligations undertaken so far from the Brussels dialogue, while, on the other hand, Pristina has been refusing to form the Community of Serb Municipalities for almost nine years, as well as to implement energy agreements and allow the search of nine locations in Kosovo, where, according to Belgrade, the remains of Serbs who went missing during the war are located.
