(4 years ago)The European Union confirmed on Friday that it has received answers from Kosovo and Serbia on this plan. The EU called on the parties to seize the case. The document has been kept away from the public, while Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, has said that there it is envisioned that Serbia does not prevent Kosovo on the road to international recognition, in exchange [...]
However, Serbian Foreign Minister Dacic has said the plan is unacceptable to Serbia. According to him, it envisions recognition of Kosovo.
Serbia's “position is clear, that plan starts from an unacceptable basis, from the fact that the issue of the political solution is considered finished and that we just have to accept, willingly or without, in a silent voice, the independence of Kosovo”, Daciq from Vienna said, writes “EuroNews Serbia”.
He has said that this very topic will be discussed by Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, with the EU emissary for dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.
The European Union's high foreign policy and security representative, Josep Borrell, has confirmed that Kosovo and Serbia have accepted a new plan for dialogue on normalisation of reports. As he said, both sides already submitted their comments on this plan.
With my special representative, Miroslav Lajcak, we worked hard at this. So, before summer we introduced the plan to both sides, Kosovo and Serbia, so that they can overcome the permanent crises we worked on and achieve a comprehensive normalisation of their reports. We've got answers from both sides. We are studying them and I think that there is a good reason to be used to achieve the normalisation of reports between Pristina and Belgrade”, Borrell said in Germany, where the meeting of foreign affairs ministers of G7 states is being held.
The chief of EU diplomacy also said that in the coming days they will analyse the comments they have received from Pristina and Belgrade, and that he hopes this “will be a progress and step forward in this process”.
Borrell also thanked Germany and France for supporting the development of this plan.
The existence of the Franco-German plan was discussed in Berlin on 3 November by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyeen. Von der Leyen confirmed that this plan is now “entered into the dialog process”.
However, there is not much information about the Franco-German plan. His existence has also been confirmed by Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and by Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq.
Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi has said the Franco-German proposal envisions resolving conflicts in two phases, “where much of the disputes would be resolved now, while a very small portion they say is 1 per cent would be left for a later period of”.
On 8 October, Vuciq said France and Germany have proposed that Serbia allow Kosovo to join international organisations and institutions, including in the United Nations, in exchange for a quick EU membership for Serbia. /Periscopi/
