Kosovo-Serbia agreement, Judah: A Political Will

British journalist and the connoisseur of political circumstances in the Balkans, Tim Judah, in an interview for Atlantic Council, said that there is always a way out of the picture, but the problem rests more with the political will of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq.

There's always a way out, it's really easy to see solutions that can be made. That's not the problem. The problem is their political will and I don't think that at the moment it is a political will to find a way out”, Judah said.

According to him, the two leaders are somewhat happy to continue on the road without changing attitudes, especially Prime Minister Kurti, who, as Judah estimated, “is less flexible and pragmatic than others”.

The problem is that he is forced to negotiate something he does not believe in, he made a career in the opposition, saying he does not believe in dialogue with Serbia and the Association of Serb majority municipalities, so he is being driven to do something he does not want to do”, he noted.

To explain the lack of “political will”, the author of many books for the Balkans, recalls the 27-year-old dispute between Greece and Northern Macedonia.

“They might have found solutions within a week if there was political will, but there was no political will. But at the moment he had political will, it was easy to resolve the problem”.
