American Professor: Paris Summit Cancelation signal for US involvement in dialogue

Joseph, a talker at the John Hopkins University Institute for International Policy in Washington, has told the Serbian Voice of America sector that the biggest US engagement would not have prompted the demands of Serbia's leaders for Russia's most active participation in dialogue.

It has estimated that the US, the EU and the major European governments for resolving the Kosovo-Serbia problem “should seek advice from connoisseurs and circumstances, and could seek alternatives for the idea of border correction which leaders in northern Macedonia, in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina have dismissed as very dangerous”, the “ovost quoted Joseph as saying.

He has added that he tries for a comprehensive change in approach to the solution of the problem, because, he said, the resulting strategy was based on Serbia being given a compensation for Kosovo's loss, and that leads to the logic of exchange of territories or division, and this opens the border issue in BiH and elsewhere in the region.

Serbia's “Alternative compensation for Vuciki's loss of Kosovo is exactly its opposite act. Dignified preservation of Serbia's permanent ties with Kosovo, while in the context of bilateral recognition, the process will end with the existence of the state of Kosovo. Among the many possible ways is the idea of securing the sovereignty of the Serbian Orthodox Church and of the property it has in Kosovo in the south of Ibrit”, Joseph was quoted as saying.

He has added that, the church's <x0 reference and full sovereignty would be a sign for Serbs living in Kosovo and in Serbia that they are forever connected to this region and are welcome to remain in Kosovo”.

Regarding Moscow's eventual involvement in the dialogue, he has stressed that “does not believe Russia in this case could provide any aid to”.
