The European Union should permanently end discussions about changing the borders between Kosovo and Serbia, to avoid tensions and clashes which could erupt at any moment.
This is the assessment that has emerged from an analysis of the European Stability Initiative (ESI), which bears the title “Hipnographer Aleksandar Vuciq, John Bolton and the return to the past”, writes Koha Ditore today.
It provides shocks to options about partition or correction promoted by Serbia's president, Vuciq, Kosovo President Thaci, and other Balkan leaders, as well as internationals who have opened the door to such ideas.
The European Union has sought to take an active role in turning the region's perspective into track and ending discussions leading to conflict.
ESI's report, a key impact organisation on Southeast European policies, starts with assessing the failure to change Serbian politics even after Slobodan Milosevic's fall in 2000.
