The European Union has confirmed the participation of the delegations of Kosovo and Serbia in a meeting which will take place today in Brussels on the issue of removing the Serbian dinar.
From Kosovo, they confirmed that the Central Bank of Kosovo has responded positively to the EU's invitation, without giving the names of who will be part of the delegation. But, according to REL, Kosovo will be represented at the meeting by the governor of the CBK, Ahmet Ismaili. Meanwhile, according to the Serbian media, Tanjug, in today's meeting, Serbia will be represented by the Serbian chief negotiator in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Petar Petkovic.
The CBK has also expressed earlier its willingness to meet with the representatives of the People's Bank of Serbia, to facilitate the transfer of money, through banking channels, after the entry into force of its regulation on February 1, which provides that only the euro currency for cash payments.
"In this sense, the CBK also responds to invitations when necessary, for such informative meetings, as it has continuously done even with the international presence in the country", it was said in the CBK's response.
Meanwhile, the spokeswoman of the European Commission for foreign policy issues, Nabila Massrali, did not specify who will participate, but said that the meeting will be "in the usual dialogue format" and in it will be discussed about "finding solutions".
Last week, the chief negotiator of Kosovo in the dialogue, Besnik Bislimi, has declared that he will not participate in the meeting, accusing the European envoy for the dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak, of having violated the principle of setting the agenda of the meeting, without the agreement of parties.
"What I can say is that yes, we will have a meeting tomorrow. "Tomorrow's meeting is a dialogue meeting, which will focus on the solutions of open issues related to the recent decisions on currency circulation by the CBK", said Masralli.
According to the EU, the meeting will start in the morning and will have the same flow of meetings in the usual dialogue format. The European Union is demanding that the issue of banning the Serbian dinar be resolved through dialogue.
The United States, meanwhile, is demanding that Kosovo postpone the implementation of this decision, as it has argued that it was taken without prior consultation and without being based on the negative impacts on the Serbian population in Kosovo.
The authorities in Kosovo have said that the regulation will be implemented through an easy transition, no longer than three months, while Prime Minister Albin Kurti has insisted that the decision will not be reversed.
