Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and France's President Emmanuel Macron, the decision on setting the date for a upcoming meeting between Kosovo and Serbia will depending on how events will turn up in Kosovo, following Ramush Haradinaj's resignation from the prime minister's post. This has been confirmed by the Federal Government office of [...]
As far as the European Union has no comment on recent developments in Kosovo and on how to proceed consistently in normalising Kosovo-Serbia reports, official Berlin has a stance.
They say they are continuing closely with France the latest developments in Kosovo following Haradinaj's departure from the post of chairman of the government, and that the decision on a possible meeting between Kosovo and Serbia will depend on how events turn out in Pristina.
“Germania and France are closely following developments in Kosovo. A possible decision on a meeting will be made based on the circumstances that will arise”, a media official from Chancellor Angela Merkel's government has told Express.
And until Kosovo is already in an institutional vacuum, with a prime minister on the run, and with a decision that day is expected to be distributed to go to new elections, the government of Germany has clear positions.
They are not positioned in terms of new elections, or the establishment of a technical government, however, have given their old order.
Official Berlin requires quick return to EU-led dialogue and say they welcome in the future a decision on abolishing the 100 per cent tax on products from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“We support a quick return to the EU-led dialogue for normalisation of reports between Serbia and Kosovo. We would also welcome the removal of the 100 % tax that Kosovo has imposed on products from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina”, have been posted by Chancellor Angela Merkel's office.
Quick return to dialogue and tax removal have repeatedly sought all Western Kosovo friends, including the United States of America.
For the resumption of Brussels dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, has pledged in Belgrade.
He has said that he will do so in full co-operation with Germany and also the United States of America.
After the meeting he had with Serbia's president, much has been talked about that a possible Pristina-Belgrade meeting will be held in early September.
Meanwhile, the United States of America has expressed readiness to be directly involved in Kosovo-Serbia talks. That's what he said about the VOA, Philip Reeker, after a conversation he had with American Secretary of State Mike Pompeii.
Regarding continuing dialogue and new elections and technical government, Express has also sent questions to the European Union. Although five days have passed since Haradinaj's resignation, they still have no stance on how to proceed.
Haradinaj's resignation has also spoken of Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, who has called Haradinaj's political strategy that one of the goals also causes delays in Brussels dialogue.
