Judah: The Act for Thaci was made public to change the course of events this year there will be no Kosovo- Serbia

According to him, the prosecutor made public the president's name to deliberately change the course of events. As for dialogue, Judah says, it is already in the hands of the EU, but Thaci is out of the political equation.

For almost 20 years, in one form or another, I think they've been working on this issue. I assume that if a prosecutor believes there is enough evidence, he believes there is sufficient evidence to send Thaci to the court and condemn him. That's not what I think, but obviously that's what the prosecutor believes. This is not a new story, it goes on for more than 20 years”, he says.

I think what happened is that the prosecutor received information or was deeply concerned, that by the time Thaci went to Washington, a deal would be reached or something that would completely change the course of things, or the thing that he (the prosecutor) wanted to do, about his accusations against Thaci. I think he (the prosecutor) found himself in a difficult position, I think he couldn't prove his accusations, the Court and the prosecutor would never accept this, so that remains a speculation. After discussions with other people, I think this is the most logical explanation of this situation, because in another situation they would never have taken such a step”, he points out.

According to him, the prosecutor was concerned that any agreement would be signed in Washington, which would somehow prevent Thaci from facing those charges.

The point is that it's not conspiracy. I believe the prosecutor was concerned that any agreement would be signed in Washington which would somehow prevent Thaci from facing these charges. I repeat, I think he reacted before anything happened in Washington. I think that was the course of the event. I don't think there's been conspiracy policies, as many people have ever written. I don't know what his plan was, no one has any idea what could happen in Washington. A few weeks ago there were many talks on territorial exchanges. Green said this was never discussed with him. Mr Thaci denied that. Then Greenell said that in fact they would discuss the economy and the EU would be responsible for politics. But we can't be sure, because the meeting never came true. No one has any idea what could be discussed at that” meeting, he said.

It also speaks of rivalry between the EU and the US.

I guess it's getting a little theoretical right now. Because with the US presidential election approaching, this one I don't think will be very involved unless something happens very soon. So the whole battle has shifted back into the EU's hands. And I think EU envoy Miroslav Lajcak is extremely happy about this, surprised but happy. Now he's going to try to take steps in this regard but he's going to have a hard time doing this because the hacker is out of this political equation”, he says further.

Judah does not believe that this year there will be agreements between Kosovo and Serbia.

I don't think it's possible to reach an agreement this year. I think it's impossible. We have no equal parties to negotiate now. We have a president with full power of Serbia on one side and we have a Kosovo president who has been thrown out of the equation. It is unrealistic for the president of Serbia to negotiate with the prime minister of Kosovo. I don't think it can happen. I don't think this is gonna happen this year. What can happen now is the very fact that Lajcak can say... there are 20 or 25 agreements between Serbia and Kosovo, and many of them have not been implemented. What Lajcak can do now is try to further foster that the agreements that exist can be implemented. So I don't think there's any progress in the near future...

“Ideally it would be two equal states in the Western Balkans, Serbia to recognise Kosovo's independence. Serbs felt sure that their rights have been fulfilled in Kosovo, but if that would happen I don't know, I don't believe this could happen at a close time”, Judah has said.
