Da li je i ko prevaren u Briselu, 19. Aprila 2013.? Ko snosi odgovornost za nesprovođenje Briselskog sporazuma- Beograd, Priština ili EU kao posrednik i garant implementacije istog? Kako je to izjava Ivice Dačića, inače potpisnika Briselskog sporazuma u ime Beograda posle punih 12 godina ponovo otvorila temu neuspeha ovog dokumenta? Da li bi nam danas, 2025. Umesto Briselskog nesporazuma, dobrodošao neki novi sporazum Beograda i Prištine? Gosti Stava dana : Miloš Pavković iz CEP-a i Milan Antonijević, pravnik i aktivista za ljudska prava.
