5 hours agoVV minister who wanted to give Serbia corridors is now sharply reprimanding Lajcak
Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)It seems that Blerim Reka, former VV minister appointed at the Kurti Government, has changed his stance on the question of dialogue. After losing power, Reka forgot that she had mentioned giving the corridor to the Adriatic Sea for Serbia as a possible compromise on achieving recognition. Now, Reka has [...]
Now, Reka remembered 2002 when she asked the European Union to change its approach. He has criticised the EU envoy for the dialogue, Mr. Miroslav Lajcak, who is insisting on establishing the Association of Serb-run municipalities, traces Periscopi.
“As it was that two decades ago, asking Kosovo for EU membership through Belgrade, today follows the increased pressure on Kosovo for new concessions to Serbia. After forcing Kosovo to lift its trade tax and reciprocity, and abandon international recognitions, it is now recently required to remove the unitary character of its state sovereignty! Reka.
He has added that no compromise is needed for Kosovo's independence.
Full status:
Sovereignty not compromised
Lajcak continues with implementation of asymmetric approach to the Brussels Dialogue. Without a final agreement for mutual recognition, he asks Pristina to re-return “Zajednica”, as Belgrade requires. As it was two decades ago, it urged Kosovo to membership in the EU through Belgrade, today it follows with increased pressure on Kosovo for new concessions to Serbia. After forcing Kosovo to remove trade tax and reciprocity, and abandon international recognitions, it is now finally required to lift its unitary character of state sovereignty!
18 years ago I criticised such an approach to Brussels, when in my writing I considered the EU's then approach for “unique access to RFJ stabilisation for Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo”
In that January 2002 writing, criticising Brussels' idea, I asked them instead of imposing Pristina and Podgorica, their route to Europe via Belgrade; The EU convinces Belgrade that its path to Europe is without Podgorica and without Pristina.
This wrong strategic planning of Brussels was witnessed four years later when Montenegro was independent and six years later, when Kosovo was independent. A decade later, Montenegro began membership negotiations with the EU, outside this “unique approach at RFJ”. Even before Serbia! Why did Brussels not yet admit the second strategic mistake on Kosovo, and why does it continue with new and ongoing pressure on new concessions to Belgrade?
Kosovo's independence and sovereignty are not compromised, neither divided, divided, nor contracted. They are complete and non-negotiable.
