Escobar asks Pavlovic Today what the United States considers a constructive “angage”.
“They are willing to consider any point of agreement. They are willing to start immediately implementing and negotiating annexes, accompanying annexes. So this is really constructive”, Escobar explained.
Escobar also commented on recent developments in the Serbian Assembly at the hot session held on the Kosovo issue and the Franco-German plan.
He said the opposition's strong reaction to this plan is normal and that it is good to hear different views.
“Reactions are normal. The Kosovo issue is a very emotional issue for Serbia. It's where they worry a lot about what this means for the future, what it means for Serbs living there. But it's an important thing that they have to dedicate”, Escobar said.
The Serbian Parliament, according to Escobar, is “a good forum for discussion”, a place where all voices can be heard. “You're listening to people who are very opposed to the agreement and you're listening to people who are against the elements of the agreement but generally support it. And you're hearing from the President about the need to move forward”.
The controversial open spirit, says Gabriel Escobar, despite the unseemly rage of lawmakers from opposition parties bearing signs of “No surrender” and “Tradity” and protest loudly against the Franco-German proposal, does not seem to bother him.
No, I mean, to be honest, that's all within their political framework. They should discuss it. I think all concerns and all objections should be met and exceeded”, Escobar said.
