Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 06:26:04 GMT

Kurti said that Vucic had refused to sign their February agreement aimed at normalizing their bitter relations as well as an action plan for making the deal work.“Acceptance entails a signature; only a signature entails acceptance and guarantees implementation,” Kurti said in a statement.Vucic dismissed that claim as “tricks,” saying “there was no question of signing or not signing.”“Someone is playing games to shift the...
