(3 years ago)The European Union has confirmed Tuesday's meeting between Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vucinqi. The missing during the war and association are the first in the agenda, while it has left open the possibility to discuss current political issues. Dialogue process recognition says Kosovo [...]
The agreement they reached at the meeting, leaders Albin Kurti and Aleksandar Vuciq, will discuss it in Brussels on Tuesday.
And four days before this meeting between the Kosovo prime minister and the president of Serbia, the European Union has confirmed the agenda of discussions.
The first issue on the agenda will be the adoption of the Declaration on Missing Persons during the war, and then the first draft of the Serb majority Communist Association Act will be presented.
But it is not known what impact this week can have on developments in Strasbourg, where Serbia voted against reviewing Kosovo's application for membership in the Council of Europe.
The move was praised as violating Serbia's Ohrid agreement.
However, international law professor Besfort Rrecaj estimates that Kosovo should not deal much with this issue at the May 2nd meeting.
I expect that the Kosovo side will not greatly challenge the question of Serbia's vote in the Council of Europe for Kosovo membership, because things are not black and white, diplomacy is very complex and we must read more beyond what is presented to us as the prima facie. It is true that the agreement requires not to interfere, but this stumbling work leaves different interpretations of”, Besfort Rhesaj said about RTV Dukagjin.
Kosovo, according to Professor Rrecaj, should be careful not to be seen as the blocking party in the eyes of the international community.
International relations researcher Arik Cipa has said that Kosovo has reason to be sceptical, but according to him it is important to continue constructively.
“For one thing, Kosovo has reason to be extremely skeptical in relation to the approach it will now have on May 2nd. Vuciq and the claim he will lift to the discussion table in Brussels. It is important to continue to insist on a constructive attitude on the part of Kosovo, so that it does not take on the burden of preventing dialogue, as is Serbia's main goal presenting Kosovo as a destructive side of”.
In addition to the first two topics on the agenda, at Tuesday's Kurti and Vuciq meeting are expected to discuss the current issues the EU values of political importance.
