Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)Kosovo will decide for itself what to negotiate in dialogue with Serbia”, said special envoy for the Western Balkans, which is staying in Kosovo, Matthew Palmer, during the conversation it had with students and civil society, today in the National Library, “Pier Bogdani” in Pristina, writes Periscopi. Palmer with special emphasis spoke for [...]
Palmer, with particular emphasis, spoke of dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, as he said the start of negotiations is urgent, adding that Kosovo chooses for itself what it will negotiate in this dialogue.
Kosovo is not losing anything, it is the only way to gain something, not lose, nowhere is Kosovo required to do something that is not its own interests. Kosovo itself will decide what to negotiate, and the only way to do so is through the dialogue process. Kosovo must not enter unprepared negotiations, it must decide what position it will take before negotiations”, Palmer said.
He in this conversation said that without an agreement being reached with Serbia, he does not see any possibility of Kosovo being integrated into the international system.
The once permanent resolution of relations between Kosovo and Serbia through full normalisation remains the strategic priority of the US, which will have influence on the people here but also in the region, because it will free both countries from the tradition of hostility”, Palmer said.
“We see no possibility of your country's integration into the international system that did not include reconciliation with Serbia”, Palmer said.
Palmer said that even after the agreement with Serbia, they will continue to be present in Kosovo.
The “does not belong to the US to set the timetable, but the parties, we have the EU, which has facilitated the dialogue, the US has supported, I mentioned many others who have helped this process, as far as the framework is concerned, is to determine who, as long as it is a matter of emergency, and Yerenelli has mentioned this urgency. Our engagement will not end on Tuesday, we want Pristina and Serbia to make an agreement, but the next day we will still be here”, Palmer said.
This organisation was held immediately after President Hashim Thaci hosted the Palmer meeting, after he had met with political party leaders Kadri Veselin, Ramush Haradinaj, Isa Mustafen and a delegation of the Serbian List. /Periscopi
