Vuciq: Border change only possible under UN mandate

“Change of the border is possible only under the United Nations mandate or any other institution”, Vuciq told TV Prva television, adding that Serbia's position is based on respecting international law.

Over the past few weeks, media in the region, but even wider, have written about ideas about changing the borders of countries in the Balkan region as opportunities to resolve the remaining issues as unresolved by the process of the breakup of the former Yugoslavia.

Media in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia have written that for these ideas Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansha, whose country soon takes over the rotating EU chairmanship, had handed over to Brussels a “non paper”.

Some EU states, mostly Germany, have expressed opposition to such ideas, calling them dangerous.

In the language of European institutions, the non-paper is an informal document that is displayed in closed negotiations within EU institutions, in an effort to find agreement on any disputed issues.

Meanwhile, Slovenia, on May 17th, will be the host of the summit of the presidents of the Western Balkan region, known as the Brdo-Brion Process.

Vucic said he will visit Brussels after the summit.

Brdo-Brion is an initiative of the presidents of Slovenia and Croatia as two EU member states, which is aimed at strengthening regional co-operation and promoting political dialogue between the Balkan region and the EU.
