Confirmed: Serbia cannot EU without agreement with Kosovo

I think you yourself have answered your question. For the whole region, relations between Serbia and Kosovo are a key issue. We're all looking at the two countries so they can come to a peaceful long-term solution, but this cannot happen by itself,” said Olivér Várhely.

He thus answered the media question in Belgrade, after meeting with Serbia's President Aleksandar Vuciq, it seems that whatever Serbia has done in European integration, it will be important as long as it disagrees with Kosovo and only then will it come to the acceleration of the road to European integration.

Oliveér Várhely said official Pristina must lift the tax, which, he says, is the first step to resume talks.

He said he was willing to help as much as possible, but he's aware it's a very sensitive issue, so he's very careful about it.

The two countries must sit together and the first step Kosovo should take is tax removal,” he said, adding that without that it cannot be possible or even impossible to renew the talks.
