Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic said Saturday that the position of US 
President's Special Envoy for Belgrade and Pristina Richard Grenell was nothing 
new, adding that the Quinta countries had taken a similar stance.

During a visit to Belgrade on Friday, Grenell said he had "informed his 
interlocutors in Kosovo" that they had to abolish the tax on goods from Serbia, 
but that he also "made a request" to Belgrade: for Serbia to suspend the 
campaign among foreign countries to withdraw their recognition of Kosovo's 
independence.

"If everyone is for it, we are ready to achieve a moratorium, but then the 
lobbying of major countries for Kosovo must stop as well as the lobbying for 
Kosovo's admission to international organizations. The image and attitude of 
major forces has changed and that pains them. Of the 193 UN member states. 93 
recognized Kosovo's independence, 95 do not and five countries are in a fluid 
state," Dacic noted.

According to Dacic, Grenell's visit is a positive sign, because it emphasizes 
economic topics and these are useful initiatives. He also noted that it shows 
that the position of the US administration has changed in the sense of 
advocating for a compromise solution.

Commenting on Grenell's allegations that the deadline for reaching an agreement 
has not been set, but that there is not much time, Dacic said that the message 
was first and foremost addressed to Pristina.

"in essence, the dialogue is currently not being conducted because of the 
tariffs and there is ever less mention of the Brussels Agreement, which was not 
implemented by Pristina primarily when it comes to the formation of the Union 
of Serbian Municipalities in Kosovo," Dacic said.
