The European Union considers that Serbia has clearly violated its obligations from the dialogue by proposing the law from the Government that declares Kosovo a zone of special protection and regarding the organization and jurisdiction of judicial bodies for prosecuting criminal acts in Kosovo, RTK writes.

EU Spokesperson Nabila Massrali called on the authorities in Belgrade to reconsider the proposed law in line with Serbia's obligations in the European integration process.

"The EU reminds Serbia that it is obligated to respect all agreements from the dialogue as an integral part of its EU accession process and calls on Serbia to reconsider the proposed law accordingly," Spokesperson Massrali stated in a written statement to the media.

She also emphasized that the proposed law contradicts Serbia’s recently reaffirmed commitment to dialogue.

Nabila Massrali reminded official Belgrade that, since the Brussels Agreement of 2013, Kosovo and Serbia have clearly defined obligations regarding their respective jurisdictions.
