"Vrlo sam zabrinuta zbog nasilja na sjeveru, vrlo sam zabrinuta da li ćete i jedni i drugi moći ostvariti napredak ka Evropi," izjavila je Ashtonova.Politički predstavnici Srba sa sjevera Kosova su međutim Tadićev poziv primili s uzdržanošću.
"I am very concerned about violence in the north, I am very concerned that you will both be able to make progress towards Europe," Ashton said. Political representatives of the Serbs from northern Kosovo, however, received Tadic's call with restraint.
