Jacobsson: With the Nobel Prize proposal, I want Europe to see that there are achievements between Kosovo and Serbia

For a time I have been following the situation in the Balkans, especially in Kosovo and Serbia, and I am very familiar with the post-war situation. I'm an academic and a historian, and my view is that when business and travel are connected, you'll have more easily to overcome conflict and go to peace”, Jacobsson said about Klan Kosova.

I think this is a very good step, even though it's not a 100% peace deal but an economy deal, it's still a good step”.

He has said that by his move he has wanted to show Europe that in the Kosovo- Serbia has some achievements.

I want to raise the issue by telling Europe that certain achievements between Kosovo and Serbia are taking place because I in the Swedish parliament have raised the visa issue for Kosovo. I think this is the first achievement and it should be shown that there are positive steps in this direction, I don't know what the Nobel Committee is going to decide, but the issue has been raised by making this proposal”.

My <x0Ide is also from what I studied at the university that good ties and good relations, between business, travel and solid peace, I think that Kosovo and Serbia, despite problems, will manage the situation by starting these economic relations and I think the next round could be a very good step for peace. So I've taken this initiative but I don't know how the Nobel Committee will expect, but I still want to raise this issue because I think that any progress in Kosovo-Serbia relations should be raised as a matter of”.
