Distrust and no transparency continue to accompany the process of dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia. While Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has said it is difficult to believe Europe, the opposition in Kosovo says it cannot be trusted by the prime minister and his proposed team, that it will apply different approaches to negotiations with the Serbian state.
Brussels' dialogue is in the blockade because of the 100 per cent tax on Serbian goods. Despite international pressure, Haradinaj has so far refused to suspend the decision to give chance to dialogue. According to him, it is hard to believe that Europe will not ask for anything else, even if the tax is removed, writes today “Koha Ditore”.
“Today I am coming here from three locations of massacres among the most tragic that the people of Kosovo have suffered. We've been sitting at the table with hundreds of people killed. Imagine today telling Kosovo meet the conditions for coming to the table. It's amazing how this situation came to be. I appeal that the table be returned and the topics opened with mutual recognition at current borders, where we would have free trade”, Haradinaj said on Tuesday, following the government's meeting. According to him, the EU did not keep words on the visa issue either.
We can trust Europeans who once told us the dialogue, then the tax, where we know what's next. It's become hard to believe. Mogher and others have told us to do this because you have liberalisation”, he stressed.
