Carl Bildt, former foreign minister of Sweden and policy connoisseur of the Balkans, has said that the EU dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina has been at an unpleasant level in recent years.
In this direction, as Bild has written in an authorial writing, the move towards a comprehensive normalisation agreement is likely to require a much higher level of commitment from the EU than we have seen recently.
As he has estimated, all matters at the table are likely to be more difficult.
The “should be added that Russia is unlikely to refrain from expressing its support for the Serb stance on the issue, thus making the struggle for public opinion in the country even more difficult”.
And from the two states of “advanced”, Bild stresses that Serbia is clearly more advanced.
“Opening 12 out of 35 chapters in the accession process and closing only two of them, it still has ways to go. But even more demanding that this process is the fact that a veto right has now been established by Croatia and Kosovo for Serbia's EU accession. By dragging any process on the Danube border, Croatia could slow down the process and stall talks on a normalisation agreement, Kosovo could do the same”, Bild wrote in an authorial writing about the EU's strategy for enlargement.
