Here are the expected results from the Berlin Summit.

Former German minister Christian Scherz-Schiling, in a telephone conversation on the “Analise day” with journalist Evliana Behrani at RTK 3, has analysed congested political developments and messages that emerged from numerous meetings at the Berlin Summit.

German professor, formerly adviser to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, said he expects ideas for correction to borders in the Balkans to disappear on ethnic grounds, while demanding greater unity within the European Union to support and facilitate the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue process.

Christian Schwarz-Schiling urges Serbia to recognise Kosovo's independence, as there will otherwise be no stability in the Balkans.

The former German minister calls the disaster no visa liberalisation for Kosovo, saying it is being held hostage as a means to pressure politics.

He also comments on the non-recognition of Kosovo of the 5 EU member states and the obstacles they can make on the path to our country's membership in the union.

Total Christian Scharz-Schiling interview:

RTK: What are the expectations after the Berlin summit regarding the Balkan region and Kosovo relations Serbia?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: Talks between Pristina and Belgrade have been held for a while, we are now in a new phase where the issue of success or discontent has nothing to do with. At this moment the main point is not to make the wrong decisions, such as discussing the exchange of territories in ethnic lines, and this process would have to leave today after the Berlin meeting. Another point is to have greater unity within the EU and EU commissions should expect stronger support to facilitate dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia with constructive results, and one of the mistakes was that the two countries have started on an equal scale. Serbs had an important priority in this, a more constructive advance can only be achieved if the two sides are considered equal.

RTK: The European Union, as you know, has promised to open doors to Western Balkan countries since the Thessaloniki Summit, but all countries are far from becoming EU members. Is there a negligence from the EU or not in this regard?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: Of course there is negligence from the European Union, look at the uneven dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia. The EU Commission has been too passive in their efforts to secure support.

RTK: How do you read the situation with the five countries that do not recognise Kosovo, is a “close usage<x1 seriously for Kosovo's future in the EU?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: That's true. That's negative. But if we look at the positive side, 23 EU members have recognised Kosovo as a state, only 5 have voted against. It is a scandal that these countries do this because of their internal political problems and have had to follow Kosovo's accession and recognition as an independent state, and another conclusion that we see from this is that the majority of member states vote is being ignored and that is a huge mistake of building their own European Union, this should not be a principle of EU foreign affairs, this behavior should be criticised, as well as more of Serbia's position because when Serbia recognises Kosovo will solve tensions in Balkan states and EU member states, immediately.

RTK: Kosovo citizens nearly a third of them live and work in different EU countries and cannot move freely regarding the EU's decision on visa liberalisation, as you know Germany has rejected visa liberalisation, can you give us a comment on the issue.

Christian Szarz-Schiling: It is a disaster that the European Union and Germany have not made the visa liberalisation step and has nothing to do with international law, as freedom of movement for Kosovo citizens has been taken hostage as a means of political pressure.

RTK: Can we have stability in the Balkans if Serbia does not recognise Kosovo as an independent state?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: No, there can be no stability. Serbia here holds a major responsibility.

RTK: In your analysis published several days ago in international media, you have rejected the exchange of territories in ethnic lines. Can anyone guarantee that such a thing will not happen in the Western Balkans?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: The principles of the international community in particular of the European Union are a guarantee of refusing to reform borders on the basis of ethnic lines that you can note in the Dayton agreement, if the US and the entire EU have realised that this would do more harm and create dangerous developments in the future is reasonable and are fundamental values of our society in Europe and the US to avoid such developments.

RTK: Have you seen any kind of dilemma between EU member states and key international community players regarding the final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: We always have special interests in politics, but Europe and the UN must ensure that human rights and international law are not violated.

RTK: What do you think is the role of Germany, France, the US and the EU in the process of final resolution for the Western Balkans?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: I think it seems today by all sides that a reasonable kind of thinking prevails.

RTK: So you're optimistic, right?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: Yeah.

RTK: When it comes to the integration of Balkan states into the EU in your analysis, you had stressed that the EU should see the region as whole and not as broken. Can you imagine what you meant by that?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: Rule of law and division of powers, independence of the judiciary, the independent power of the legislature, parliament, then executive and judiciary are the fundamental right of each state. This is a very, very long development of European history that is always connected and neglect of these things brings to the terrible situations we had in the 19th century when we had all those wars within Europe, the US and the same is happening in the Balkans. We must make it with a real purpose to have a better future than the last century. But we all have to work together to raise this. I think the first years after World War II we fought hard and now I don't think we should lose the bravery and the will to achieve that goal.

RTK: Is there any possibility of integrating Balkan countries into the EU at the same time as it happened in 2004 as it did with ten Central European states.

Christian Szarz-Schiling: No, the criteria are equal for all EU membership, but each state will be viewed separately. Membership steps can be held bilaterally, it is up to EU member states and respective states to decide not to accept. But we need to have a common and clear goal.

RTK: Who would have to do what to speed up the process of membership of Balkan states in the EU?

Christian Szarz-Schiling: We all know it's a long journey, but I think that step by step the people themselves will feel and will see that they are getting better and better, the defeat of the two sides that happen to the Western Balkan states in common must speed up the process. It must be a joint attempt by the states of the former Yugoslavia and must all those who have fought among themselves must accept The Hague jurisdiction and it is a precondition that would speed up the process. Learning history is early, and this lesson will study the truth rather than the lies that are still observed on the scene of the Balkan states today. At the moment it's a long road and it's going to take approximately one generation to clarify the heads, the spirit to really get human rights to come to the democratic structures and independence of parliament, the government, and then we can have the foundation of being the value of each state within each state.

RTK: Before we finish the interview, I would like to ask you, if you can sum up the main messages that have emerged during today's meeting between Western Balkan leaders and German Chancellors Merkel and French President Macron.

Christian Szarz-Schiling: It was a very important meeting. We are not sitting at the conference to formulate conclusions, but new historical things created by the most important EU countries. France and Germany have sat together and invited the Western Balkans to analyse the same goal in history for the future and the present. , This has never happened this way and this is the beginning of the process and the outcome will be equal membership of all Western Balkan states because two major states have the same goal.
