“Vucciq well knows first the agreement with Kosovo, then Serbia's EU integration

This is said in an interview for FoNet French Ambassador to Beogrrad, Frederick Mondolon, ordering that the chance for the Balkans to take advantage of the first half of this year will be a priority in the EU agenda, Periscopi broadcasts.

France is a friend of Serbia and friends tell them the truth. So I think President Vuciq and the Serbian government know, and I know that the Serbian people also know, that there will be no integration of Serbia into the EU without a Kosovo agreement, Mondolon said.

He explained that regional stability must be maintained to build a lasting peace and meet the conditions for accession, and that is chapter 35 in negotiations with the EU.

For us, the 2013 Brussels agreement is very important, but it is necessary that Belgrade and Pristina continue, the French ambassador said.

It is necessary to reach to the end the logic of continuing dialogue with Pristina, Mondolon said, who also welcomed domestic dialogue in Serbia to hear the views of all parties on the subject.

I know it was designed to take important steps, but now Oliver Ivanovic's disgusting murder has raised concerns, said Mondolon, who wants to continue dialogue with Pristina as soon as possible.

That's more than one condition. The Serbian people should not resolve Kosovo's issue to please the EU, but to its future, to regain peace in the region, to support economically, and that our children and your children say that the souls of the past are behind us, Mondol noted.

There will be more difficulties and tensions, but we do not allow the return of the past to take place in the region, he said, and noted that France is determined to help Serbia overcome it. /Periscopi/
