UN: EU proposal, possibilities for Kosovo's people, Serbia's

Citing the European bloc, an American State Department spokesman has said that accepting this agreement would speed up the path of both states in the EU.

The adoption of this agreement will help advance our key goals for the Western Balkans region, including achieving peace and stability for all people in the region”, Free Europe has told Radio.

This department's top adviser, Derek Chollet, has said the day before that the United States expects visible progress in the meeting, to be held Monday in the middle of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksender Vucic, under EU mediation in Brussels.

He made these statements after a telephone conversation he had with Vucic.

Two days ago, Chollet also talked with Kurt about the importance of the February 27th meeting.

The European bloc considers the sixth meeting between the two leaders as the most important, because this time, according to sources in Brussels, there will be no discussions on crisis management, but on a new dynamic of reports.

Both sides are expected to reach compliance with the EU proposal, as a “basic agreement” for normalisation of reports.

This proposal is supported by the United States. EU sources in Brussels have said on the eve of this meeting that, they expect Kurti and Vuciq to accept the proposal, without further discussions.

The debate point is expected to be only an annex for implementation of the agreement's provisions.

In a draft that has seen Radio Free Europe, the proposal envisions equal rights for Kosovo and Serbia, respect for territorial integrity, border impunity, recognition of state symbols and a special arrangement for the Serb community in Kosovo.

In addition to the EU proposal, the US State Department has reiterated the call to Kosovo and Serbia for implementation of all agreements signed so far under dialogue.

The same call has been made to Kurti by the three European leaders -- French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni -- in a letter launched Sunday.

Citing the importance of implementing agreements and achieving compatibility, Macron, Scholz and Mellon, they have said they are convinced that such progress benefits citizens, as well as advances Kosovo's path towards European integration.

Kosovo, recently, is growing pressure to establish the Association of Serb majority municipalities.

Kosovo and Serbia have reached agreement on Association in 2013 and later 2015 on principles for its establishment.

But in 2015, the Constitutional Court of Kosovo has found that the agreement is not in full harmony with the Constitution.

Serbia wants Kosovo to implement the agreements reached, but the Kosovo government has been declared against a single-ethnic association.

But there is no doubt in the EU that with the EU proposal admitted, the obligation for association is accepted.

Kosovo and Serbia have started negotiations mediated by the European Union in 2011. During this time 33 agreements have been signed, but not all have been implemented.

For now, both countries have different goals for the final agreement. Kosovo insists on mutual recognition, Serbia seeks compromise solutions. /rel
