Government this period should serve to convince the United States and the EU of new access to dialogue

Despite the possible suspension of dialogue due to elections in Serbia, institutions in Kosovo are being asked to actively engage in this topic. The six-month period of 2022, according to connoisseurs of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue process, should serve the Kurti Government to convince the United States and the European Union of [...]

On the other hand, the next dynamic of dialogue, early in February, is being warned of a visit to Kosovo by EU Special Representative for Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak, along with American envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar. But such a visit has not confirmed for Kosova Prees, EU spokesman Peter Stano.

Institute Director E PIC, Demush Shasha, says that prior to the April elections in Serbia, there will be no progress within the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

Despite that, he has a message for institutions in Kosovo.

“Before elections in Serbia will have no progress. This more period should be used for Kosovo institutions to speak with our allies in the United States and the EU to be convinced of this new approach and new spirit within the framework the new government insists. I believe that these months should not be lost for Kosovo institutions to convince our partners of the need to change dialogue. So far we see that there is a gap between the approach of new institutions in Kosovo and our international allies, as they are insisting that the flow and dynamics of dialogue continue as it has been so far”, he says.

Based on past practices, pessimistic about any possible meeting in the coming months, Violet Hajoli of the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) says.

Serbia will pass an election process in April and no immediate development is expected until the election process is completed there. However, the second part of the year from May onward, new developments and new dynamics can be expected in terms of the Kosovo dialogue process- Serbia ... We have seen that when there are election processes in Kosovo and Serbia, dialogue is suspended for a while. The mediator gives that state time to complete the election process, then continue with discussions in the dialogue. This is done so that this subject doesn't affect the election results, or it doesn't have any effect on these” processes, Hajoli adds.

But otherwise, the connoisseur of the dialogue process, Gazmir Raci, who says that prior to the elections in Serbia, there could be a meeting in Paris, France, between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq.

He even says that in the region and Kosovo very soon they can visit, EU Special Representative for Dialogue Miroslav Lajcak and Deputy US Secretary Gabriel Escobar.

I think we're going to have a new approach, but we've got a little bit of a bit of a bit of a dialogue, because of the opposite positions we have between the parties. We also have the problem that Serbia has already entered the election phase at all levels and will be the problem of any possible meeting. Why is it being said recently that there may be a meeting in Paris, but this is not confirmed and I expect dialogue to continue after April”, Raci declares.

But such a visit does not confirm EU spokesman Peter Stano.

“If the EU special representative goes to see counterparts in the region, the media report is issued by the relevant EU delegation on the ground, when appropriate”, he says through a written response.

Kosovo- Serbia has entered a deadlock since last year. While there were tensions in recent weeks due to the Serbian referendum ban on Kosovo territory.
