The 6 October elections have changed politics in Kosovo. That conclusion was given at the meeting between Albanian and Serbian analysts in Belgrade, where the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue was discussed.
Analyst Behlul Beqaj said the political scene in Kosovo is changing in the sense that people of war have left and are expected to enter the scene next generation.
Beqaj said the international community should give a chance to the new generation and stressed that the quality of resolution for relations between Kosovo and Serbia is far more important than speed. Also, he said normalising relations is in the interest of both sides, reports the Serbian newspaper Blic.
According to him, dialogue can now become more difficult, as people who cannot be blackmailed will come to the political scene.
Analyst has stressed that VV leader Albin Kurti cannot separate Serbs from both good and bad, which he is trying to choose with who to talk to, but added that he should give a chance to show himself.
Former Kosovo Assembly Deputy Chairman Petar Miletic said there will be no quick solution between Belgrade and Pristina, news broadcasts.net.
“Whoever takes over to develop this dialogue will make the same mistake as his predecessor if he thinks he can finish it immediately”.
Miletic thinks a major change has taken place during the Kosovo elections and that the entire system will change.
“Kurti does not look favourable to Serbs, rather I would say his views are sometimes extreme. Now it has to change variation in order to create a dialogue with Serbs. He has no right to decide which Serb to talk with and who he does not want”, Miletic has said, adding that Kosovo Serbs have chosen their representatives and they are the Serbian List.
Analyst Nedmedin Spahiu said the international community must exert more pressure to end the normalisation process.
According to him, Albin Kurti has changed but not enough.
“We will see his points that we should take as transitional, meaning moving from the folly he spoke of saying things he might have already understood”, Spahiu said.
Council for General Governance Chairman Alex Rushville Grigorev said he does not expect a quick deal between Belgrade and Pristina, as he said there have recently been many mistakes and deteriorations on the ground.
He added that recent elections in Kosovo have marked the first post-war transition, meaning for the first time in 20 years, there will be new people in power.
