Lajcak, online conference “Europe and Russia at the Balkan Front” said that following Russia's attack on Ukraine, the stabilisation of the Western Balkans is more important than ever for the EU, Danas writes.
The European emissary, among other things, estimated that relations between Kosovo and Serbia are a key problem for the entire region, which blocks the normalisation of the Western Balkans and freedom of movement.
The accepting of the agreement would be a positive message to the entire region”, Lajcak said at this conference.
On the other hand, Lajcak said that the new anxis version of this plan will be discussed in Ohrid on Saturday.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti have agreed there is no need for new talks on the text of the agreement. Now the order of future steps, deadlines and who should do so must be determined. We have established annexes regarding implementation of the agreement. After my talks in Pristina and Belgrade, a new version of the annex is being prepared, which will be discussed in Ohrid on Saturday”, Lajcak said.
