Stano said he couldn't speculate whether he'd agree or not. However, he has said that if he disagrees with normalisation of the reports between the two, it will also affect how quickly the parties will approach integration in the European Union.
The European Union is for more than a decade intermediate dialogue and, of course, with the goal of seeing a positive result. Since we're just middlemen, it's always up to the two sides that we're proges and they reach agreement or not. In the end, it is those who make elections and determine the outcome of the talks”. “Borell, who is the principal mediator, said yesterday that it is a unique opportunity, we have a good moment after the parties agreed on the basic agreement, this unique opportunity should be used and Borrell hopes for constructive access for the parties to use this moment and not miss this. And ultimately there are people in Kosovo and Serbia who benefit from this”.
“We are mediators and it is not up to us to make predictions about what's going to happen, it depends on the ability of both sides to agree on the road ahead, for the necessary steps, and Mr. Borrell was very clear about the purpose of this meeting and it was to finalise the impact of the” agreement.
“We have been helping for more than 10 years to advance both sides and we would welcome a comprehensive agreement even if it was reached earlier. Progress is urgently needed and we are looking for it, but the exact date is in the hands of President Vuciq and Prime Minister Kurti”
In the EU we have a habit of not speculating on scenarios what if, we're focused on our work and that's doing everything we can to make the parties agree. For us is Plan A. Plan B is to make Plan A work. The EU, Mr. Borrell and other officials have said that the EU's path goes through dialogue, if there is no progress in normalisation, will certainly have the impact on how fast the parties will approach European co-operation”, Stano has declared 1.
