(3 years ago)In a new address book in Al Jazeera dedicated to tensions in northern Kosovo, renowned American professor Daniel Serwer warned that any calming of authorities from Pristina would have catastrophic consequences for the country, and urged American politicians to reconsider their policy in the Western Balkans. Describing tensions in the north [...]
Describing tensions in northern Kosovo, Serwer said that Serbia's “are blocking roads, attacking journalists, shooting at police and KFOR members”, but that those “are not random bandits”, but those that “are paid and controlled by Belgrade”.
He says the ultimate goal is minimising dialogue with Pristina and leaving the Franco-German plan.
Whatever the initial reasons for this behavior are, the final effect is minimising dialogue with Pristina and preventing serious consideration of the still unpublished proposal and therefore still unclear Franco-German for “temporary””, writes Serwer among other reasons.
In a request to establish the Association of Serb-run municipalities, which Belgrade defends, the American expert says the existing “disorder proves without a doubt that issuing the issue under current conditions would be catastrophic for the state of Kosovo. “.
The “State that is now behind the barricades would then become the power that would lead the institution that the state of Kosovo recognised and accepted. It would be more foolish to do that, not only because those authorities are criminal and linked to Serbian secret services”, he added.
