The Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, said that "the issue of Kosovo can only be resolved by compromise", and that "there are three red lines for Serbia". 

According to him, everything signed must be implemented, Serbia cannot recognize Kosovo's independence, and that the safety of Serbs in Kosovo must be guaranteed. 

"If KFOR does not want to do this, if the Kosovo police do not want to do it, then do not take us to the point that the Serbian police and army must guarantee security and peace in Kosovo. This is something we would not want," he said. 

Dacic made these statements in Budapest on January 10, in a joint conference with the Hungarian Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto. 

When it comes to the implementation of agreements between the two countries, Serbia constantly demands the establishment of the Association of municipalities with a Serbian majority, for which the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has expressed his opposition to a mono-ethnic association. 

Dacic said that for Serbia, Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe is counterproductive until a "political solution" is reached. 

Regarding this topic, the Hungarian Foreign Minister said that his country will vote against Kosovo's admission to this institution, if it comes to a vote. 

Szijjarto said that he believes that reaching a compromise agreement with Serbia could be jeopardized if Kosovo were to be admitted to European mechanisms in advance. He added that Hungary is interested in a peaceful solution through dialogue. 

In May last year, Kosovo applied for membership in the Council of Europe. While in December, the country submitted the formal request for EU membership. 

The European Commission is expected to analyse this application in the long run, as there are five countries in the EU that still do not recognize Kosovo's citizenship. 

The dialogue process - which envisages the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia - started as early as 2011. 

This process is expected to be intensified during this year. 

The senior adviser of the American State Department, Derek Chollet, is expected to come to Kosovo on Wednesday, while he is expected to go to Serbia the day after.
