Summit in Moldova/ British media echo the news: Vjosa Osmanin did not meet with Vu?i? even though they were...

Despite the statements that they want the tense situation in the north of Kosovo to calm down, the President of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani and her Serbian counterpart Aleksandër Vu?i? did not show any sign of withdrawing from their positions.

This is how Reuters started today's article, which is about the summit held in Moldova.

According to Reuters, upon arriving at a summit, Serbia's Aleksandar Vucic and Vjosa Osmani did not meet each other and were only a few meters away.

The two sides are under international pressure to resolve the latest crisis.

The violence erupted on Monday after Kosovo authorities, backed by special police units, allowed four mayors of municipalities in the north to enter their offices.

The mayors of the municipalities were elected while only 3.5% of the citizens participated in the voting, as the Serbs boycotted the local elections.

Regarding the event, Osmani said that Belgrade was trying to destabilize Kosovo after it failed to agree with Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008.

"We all understand that the real threat actually comes from Serbia's denial of the existence of a sovereign state of Kosovo," Osmani said.

She accused Vu?i? of supporting criminal gangs in northern Kosovo, which she said were responsible for clashes that injured 30 NATO peacekeepers and 52 Serbian protesters.

"President Vucic should stop supporting criminal gangs in Kosovo. This is what he must do if he really wants peace. He still hasn't shown that," she said.

Serbia has rejected this accusation.

Vucic was even stronger than Osmani in his rhetoric.

But he said that the Kosovo authorities should withdraw the "alleged leaders" from the north and declared that the special units of the Kosovo police were there illegally.

“Serbia do të bëjë më të mirën dhe maksimumin për të de-përshkallëzuar situatën, që do të thotë se ne do të përpiqemi t’i bindim serbët të përparojnë me qetësi. Ata janë shumë të vendosur”, tha ai.

TAKIMET E VEÇANTA
Osmani dhe Vuçiç u takuan veçmas me presidentin francez Emmanuel Macron dhe kancelarin gjerman Olaf Scholz në margjinat e samitit të Komunitetit Politik Evropian, një organ prej më shumë se 40 vendeve të themeluar vitin e kaluar.

Por nuk kishte asnjë shenjë se Vuçiç dhe Osmani do të takoheshin me njëri-tjetrin. Një deklaratë që mund të indikonte edhe një shpresë të vogël në lidhje me një takim të mundshëm nuk ka ardhur nga asnjë nga palët.

Osmani declared that he would talk to European leaders who are in favor of peace, in favor of stability and in favor of the rule of law, mentioning Macron and Scholz, but not Vucic.
