SRSG Ziadeh - Good faith dialogue, communication and mutual understanding mark the path forward.

At the biannual UN Security Council session on Kosovo today, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) Caroline Ziadeh highlighted the importance of resolving long-standing issues between Belgrade and Pristina, and between Kosovo Serb communities and Pristina authorities, through open communication and dialogue. “One of the key common observations is dissatisfaction with the level of progress being achieved through political dialogue, and the direct effects this has upon the security situation. The level of mistrust unfortunately remains high and must be addressed,” she told the Council. SRSG Ziadeh briefed on recent setbacks that hamper efforts to build trust among Kosovo’s ethnic communities through political dialogue. She reiterated her “continued concern about the manner in which the new regulation on cash transactions was communicated and implemented, and how it has affected the more vulnerable segments of the non-majority communities.” More: https://tinyurl.com/4fnt9nz2
