Heldt: Kosovo divide would cause chaos

Germany's Ambassador to Pristina, Christian Heldt, during an interview with the newspaper “Voice” has stressed that partitioning Kosovo would create potential for destabilising effect in the region and beyond, so its state is strictly against partition

Germany is strictly against partitioning Kosovo, as it believes changes to borders would not lead to a sustainable solution between the two countries.

So he stated during an exclusive interview with the newspaper “Sound” Germany's ambassador to Pristina Christian Heldt, adding that partitioning Kosovo would create potential for destabilising effect in the region and beyond.

There was no one who could give me convincing answers to the question of what problems would solve such a division. Would it bring any kind of improvement for most Kosovo Serbs living south of Ibri? Would the situation of historical and religious centres, such as Serbian Orthodox monasteries, improve the situation? Would it empower representation of the Serb community within Kosovo society? No!”, Germany's first cut in Kosovo. According to him, instead of partitioning Kosovo, the goal would have to be to focus on the living conditions of the Serb population in general in Kosovo, and not just certain counties, as he says, privileged.
Ambassador Heldt during this interview for “Voice” has seen attacks on Serb Orthodox pilgrims' groups and hand grenades fired at the homes of Serb members of the Kosovo Security Force (FSK) as terrible.
