This diplomatic mission will be accompanied by European counterpart Miroslav Lajcak, Emissar I Brussels for Pristina-Belgrade talks.
I will soon travel to the region, along with Mr. Lajcak, Kosovo- Serbia is a dialogue led by the European Union, but we strongly support it. I hope we make progress. But I have to say that in this direction the issue of Serbia and Kosovo refers not only to the United States and Europe, but also to our colleagues in the region. And in this direction, I would say that Albania is very useful” said last week Escobar about the “Voice of America”
The exact date of the arrival of the Euro-American pair has not been disclosed, but according to diplomatic sources it may occur in late January and early February. This goes according to plan.
A European official told Klan Kosovo that as far as the EU is concerned in talks expected to be held with the parties on the ground, there will be the possibility of reconciliation with a new “Formululation” that Kosovo allow on its land to hold Serbia's presidential and parliamentary elections held on April 3rd.
Marko Prelec, senior analyst at the International Crisis Group (ICG), says the US are very clear, expect dialogue to end with mutual recognition. A mutual recognition.
The European Union, according to him, has not made clear the position on the final outcome of the big deal clear.
“The other aspect of President Biden's administration is that they want to be EU supporters rather than attempt to take the lead, which for a moment tried to make the Trump administration. We've got two things that the girl's against. We have the EU that doesn't lead, and on the other hand it's the most energetic U.S. that won't do more than lead from the background. ”
Expert from the ICG explains that for this year he does not expect major moves towards the legally binding final agreement.
There will be a lot of pressure from the European Union and the French presidency to produce any results. Taking into account Pristina and Belgrade's positions I don't see the possibility of something big happen. I expect to have relatively small and technical agreements, if that happens then dialogue formally continues with meetings in Brussels”, Prelec concluded.
