(8 years ago)Talks on the idea of mending borders between Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vuciq, turn out to be a distraction from what is actually happening.

Even so, online media Euobserver is considering it planned blackmail against the European Union for its political and personal reasons.
The idea for borders that Pristina gave Belgrade official parts of northern Kosovo in exchange for the Presevo Valley, according to the article, was initially highlighted last year by Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq (though in several different terms).
This was definitely meant to end the dangerous conflict between Kosovo and Serbia, but Vuciqi's public statements of peace should not be further believed in the writing story.
When Aleksandar Vuciq spoke of Serbia and Kosovo's need for a consensus and a deal with painful compromises what he actually told the European Union is:
” If you do not allow Serbia's membership in the EU even without recognition of Kosovo independence, then we will force you to accept new agreements regarding the Kosovo and Bosnia issue”.
Numerous officials from the European Union in Brussels had complained about what they called blackmail from Serbia and its ally Russia.
Aleksandar Vuciq is being assisted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is threatening the EU with instability in the Western Balkans, but for various reasons Moscow's fear that EU enlargement will end the region's dependence on Russian energy supplies and clear its influence from a square geopolitical chess board.
The article notes that Kosovo President Hashim Thaci is also playing the blackmail game, but according to the article for personal reasons.
Facing possible war crimes charges from the new EU Special Tribunal in The Hague, Thaci and his associates tell the EU:
If you get behind us, then you will see problems in northern Kosovo and Presevo”.
Euobserver writes that Vuciq, Putin and Thaci are using the same tactics by threatening the EU with instability for various strategic reasons.
All this has prompted German Chancellor Angela Merkel to speak out against the Serbia-Kosovo exchange agreement.
She did so, in Berlin on 13 August, at a press conference with the Bosnian prime minister, because Bosnia and Herzegovina a fragile federation of Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs may be the first dominoes to fall into a region full of border disputes if Thaci and Vucinqi's idea of exchange for territories could score progress
