Committee on Kosovo-Metohija Deputy Chairman and Member Talk to French Senate’s Western Balkans Friendship Group Delegation

The Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Kosovo-Metohija Goran Bogdanovic and Committee member Bojan Jakovljevic met today, at the National Assembly House, with a delegation of the French Senate’s Western Balkans Friendship Group.


Jean Pierre Michel, in charge of Serbia within the Western Balkans Friendship Group, said that their visit is a sign of French friendship for and support of Serbia’s progress on the road to the European Union. The delegation came to Serbia to learn first-hand about the implementation of the Brussels Agreement and preparations for the local elections in Kosovo-Metohija.

Goran Bogdanovic and Bojan Jakovljevic, as MPs living in Kosovo-Metohija, shared their views of the current situation in the Province and informed the French parliamentarians about the situation in the north of Kosovo, especially in light of the imminent local elections in November. They stressed that the Serbian side calls for abiding by the Brussels Agreement, opining that the participation of Kosovo Serbs in the November elections would contribute to the continued implementation of the Agreement and mark a step forward in the normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina. They restated that without the European Union Serbia’s prospects are grim, at the same time adding that they are equally grim without Kosovo-Metohija and urging for a compromise solution acceptable for both the Serbian and Albanian side.

Senator Patrice Gélard and Roland Ries, delegate head of the Friendship Group with Serbia and Mayor of Strasbourg, also took part in the meeting.
