Professor Florian Bieber: Ideas for partitioning Kosovo come from Trump people

Commenting on the change in position of the US on the idea of correcting borders, Bieber says that contractive messages do not come from the State Department, but from the close people of President Donald Trump.

It's, in some way, Trump's logic: The most important thing is to reach an agreement, while content is not important”, he explained N1 television.

According to him, the most dangerous is silence in the European Union. Only Angela Merkel expressed her opinion against the potential change of borders.

The EU's only goal is to remove this issue from the agenda, so it is not paying attention to possible risks from this type of solution”, he says.

Bieber expects negotiations on the possible agreement to last longer than the current mandate of EU institutions.

There's a lot of uncertainty about how to divide certain municipalities, for example, or ease the negative effects for other countries in the region. There will also be many objections to this” solution, he says, broadcasts time.net

Asked about the upcoming September 7th meeting, between Thaci and Vuciqi in Brussels, Bieber has expressed his concern about the EU High Representative's ability, Federica Moghrini, to preserve dialogue in this official format, as it is clear there are direct negotiations that are continuing in parallel.

My main concern is the fact that nobody talks about Serbs living in majority Albanian municipalities in the Presevo Valley and those in southern Kosovo. Vuciqi and Thaci are talking about the agreement between the two ethnic groups, but if we look at what is happening on the ground, this is completely different from the real”, Bieber says.
