He said the US concentration is to reach an agreement in Ohrid, then the conditions that he says will also be created, the parties will participate in the April 23rd elections.
Over the past few months, we have seen that we have often discussed types of things for example the strategic framework of reports between Kosovo and Serbia, and how to create understanding or agreement that will reduce tensions and re-place these reports in a more stable way and points of confrontations that have fostered conflicts and tensions and the international community's efforts to address these points. We have found that in the event of a deal, the risks of these checkpoints and their amount could be reduced but also the consequences. So our focus on Ohrid will be agreement, and if achieved then conditions can be made for all parties to participate in the April 23rd” elections, Havenier said.
He said he cannot speak what might actually happen, but that their hope is that agreement should be reached in Ohrid.
