Hoxhaj: Do not wait for Kosovo- Serbia from Berlin meeting

Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj has said there may be only messages, deadlines or proposals from the Berlin meeting, but no agreements.

According to Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Enver Hoxhaj, the meeting, to be held in Berlin at the end of the month, attended by leaders of the Western Balkans and the European Union, is more of a return to the Berlin process.

In such multilateral meetings, do not expect that there are agreements, are not all parties, and is not the goal of negotiating Kosovo-Serbia dialogue themes, never happens, this is the format of the meeting. Second, the main focus will be the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, but there will be no intent and no efforts to reach agreement or to talk about the modalities of the agreement or to talk about the epilog of the” agreement, he said.

Hoxhaj said there may be only deadlines from that meeting, or proposals for movement of Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

The “may have messages, deadlines, there may be proposals on how to move the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, but multilateral meetings cannot be reached and there are no meetings that can be called for such an agreement”, he said.

He said the meeting is more a return to the Berlin process, where Paris thinks the European Union should deepen and consolidate and the Germans think the European Union should also expand in the Balkans.

Hoxhaj said that in the summer it is expected to be seen how the European Union will handle the Western Balkans, opening negotiations for Macedonia and for Albania and visa liberalisation for Kosovo.

Those answers, Hoxhaj gave them at a press conference, where he spoke of drafting the law prohibiting denial of war crimes in Kosovo
