Why does Merkel consider the current Kosovo- Serbia

In the statement Merkel has given at a media conference, following yesterday's meeting with Croatia's prime minister, Andrej Plenkovic, she said the current territorial integrity between Kosovo and Serbia has “relevant with large dimensions”, and showed the reasons why.

Merkel, during the conference, referred to the conversation she had with US President Donald Trump about the situation between Kosovo and Serbia and that they support talks that have a goal, but that requires actions that do not leave consequences in other countries.

“As far as the call [with Trump] is concerned we exchanged attitudes and in terms of the situation between Kosovo and Serbia, and we support all the negotiations that lead to goals, but we say at the same time that territorial integrity of how it was created today has a particular significance and that I have made this clear even during my visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. We should be careful that actions in one country lead us to action in another country. But I certainly hope that the talks between the parties will be concluded”, Merkel said at a news conference before journalists after meeting with the Croatian prime minister.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vucic, have recently unveiled the idea for restructuring the borders.

President Thaci has said today through a Facebook post that he supports the association of Presevo, Bujanoc and Medvedja as part of Kosovo's territory, but is against partition or exchange of territories.

Vuciq's Thaci will meet on 7 September in Brussels, under the dialogue between the two states mediated by the European Union's High Representative, Federica Moghrini.
