Sorensen: Ohrid Agreement legally binding without signatures, urges Belgrade to arrest Banjska culprits

The Ohrid Agreement holds legal force regardless of whether it has been formally signed, according to Peter Sorensen, the EU's special representative for the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue. Sorensen stressed that the core issue is not the absence of signatures but the lack of implementation of the agreement's terms.

Sorensen directly called on Belgrade to apprehend individuals responsible for the violent incident in Banjska. He insisted that the necessary step is to bring the perpetrators to justice, underscoring the EU's demand for accountability following the clashes. The special representative's comments reinforce the European Union's position on the binding nature of the agreement and its expectations for both parties to adhere to its provisions and ensure security in the region.
