Server: EU countries must feel ashamed not to keep their promise

The EU countries must feel ashamed that they did not keep their promise to open membership negotiations with Albania and Northern Macedonia”, American Balkan Affairs expert Daniel Server said today. In an interview for T V US, Server said the “Europeans failed to keep promises they had made”. “The Europeans did not keep promises that [...]
In an interview for T V S.H. Server said the <x0); Europeans did not keep promises they had made”.
The Europeans failed to keep their promises. And that's embarrassing. But uncontained promises are not as important as reforms and you do reforms not for the French, not for the Dutch, but for yourself”, the Server said in RTSH.
“Fakt is that Albanians and Albania want to be a European country, want to live with the same standards that are common in Western Europe, want to have the same political system as Western Europe, and that means that you have to deal with reforms and try to try to “bezhdisni” until they keep their promises. Europe is not in its good days. Her economy hasn't grown in years. He's suffering from mass migration that created a negative political reaction, has Brex's problem, so there's a lot of difficulties. From the European perspective, Albania and North Macedonia seem small trouble. But you are important, of course, for Washington and for a long-term perspective on Europe, because where Europe will find the new workforce, where Europe will find power for economic growth, certainly from the Balkans”, the American expert said.
He also talked about the lack of visa liberalisation for Kosovo citizens.
The “is revolting and is somehow even worse than the decision not to open negotiations with Albania and Macedonia. It was a promise and should have concrete results”, he said, adding that the “liberisation of visas has an immediate impact because people can travel”.
I want Kosovars to travel to Western Europe. As things are so far, they can move without visas to Albania or Northern Macedonia, but I want them to travel and see what life is like in Paris. It's revolting. They even received an even more detailed list of what they should do. I think there were over 100 demands. They fulfilled it all and have not yet given him liberalisation. It's revolting”, Server stressed.
Asked about dialogue with Serbia and reaching an agreement, he said a good <x0 agreement for Kosovo is one that recognises territorial integrity, sovereignty throughout the territory, as it is on the Kosovo flag. But I also think a good solution would be a solution that leads to further decentralisation, allowing self-government, to tell you the truth, that is already reality in Kosovo”.
Kosovo's Constitutional Court has made it very clear what the limits of the Constitution are and I think this should be respected. It's a serious decision, a detailed decision. I think Serbia should agree that if the Constitution of Kosovo is valid in the entire territory of Kosovo, which was accepted under the 2013 political agreement, then the Constitutional Court decisions should be respected in negotiations with Pristina”, the Server said. / A OVR
