PRISTINA, December 30/ATA/- The EU Envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue Miroslav Lajçak spoke about the situation created in the north of Kosovo stressing that tensions remain high.
“It is important that the leaders of Kosovo and Serbia begin to create a favorable atmosphere for productive discussions for the normalization of relations”, Lajcak told Politico.
Lajcak said that the March deadline is intended to convey the seriousness of reaching an agreement, and that according to him, the international community is feeling an increased urgency to resolve the issue between Kosovo and Serbia.
Furthermore, he said that Prime Minister Albin Kurti and the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic are ready to meet, but the problem is the result.
“The last two meetings were okay in terms of atmosphere, but the visions of the two leaders did not match. There are always great expectations from these meetings”, said Lajcak.
He said that the repeated cycle of tensions followed by temporary solutions is forcing negotiators to commit to “put out the fire, as we cannot focus on normalization when there is a crisis”.
Lajcak also mentioned the European Parliament elections and the US presidential elections that will be held in 2024, where he said that the deadlines for agreements will be forgotten if the solution is not reached by then./KosovaPress/p.s./
