Resumption of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue as soon as possible is the trigger of the visit it plans to make to the region over the next days, European Union Special Representative for the Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak.
Lajcak is expected to stay in Kosovo and Serbia during this visit.
So it has revealed in an answer to Telegrafi, Peter Stano, spokesperson for the Office of the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Josep Borelli.
He has stressed that the EU is ready to resume dialogue towards a comprehensive normalisation of relations between the two countries without delay.
“The EU is ready to resume dialogue towards a comprehensive normalisation of relations without delay. To prepare the bases and discuss modalities with the parties, Special Representative Lajcak plans to travel to the region in the coming days”, Stano has told Telegraphy.
EU Office for Foreign Policy and Security spokesperson added that for the exact time and purpose of restarting the dialogue, it is up to the parties to decide.
Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, which has started since 2011 with EU mediation, has ceased at the end of 2018, due to the tax imposed on the Haradinaj government's products imported from Serbia.
However, recently the new government of Kosovo, led by Avdullah Hoti, made a decision Saturday to lift the reciprocity move, which was decided by former Prime Minister Albin Kurti, thus paving the way for the resumption of dialogue.
We remember that special representatives in the dialogue now have the United States, diplomat Richard Green.
The European Union and the United States of America have repeatedly called for renewed dialogue and completion of this process for normalising relations between the two states.
