(3 years ago)The European Union's Special Emisar for Dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, Miroslav Lajcak, has held a meeting Tuesday with NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana, with whom he has talked about the political and security situation in the northern part of Kosovo. Lajcak, through a tweet in his account at “Titter“, [...]
Lajcak, through a tweet in his “accountTwitter“, said they have been hired for the necessity of the “immediate reaction company for de-progressing” of the situation in Kosovo's north inhabited by ethnic Serbs.
The Slovak diplomat also briefed NATO member states on recent developments in northern Kosovo and European Union diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the tense situation in this part of Kosovo inhabited by ethnic Serbs.
A valid “meeting with NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana to discuss the situation in northern Kosovo. We agreed that steps should be taken for immediate de-progression. I stressed that even when I addressed NATO ambassadors”, he wrote.
Meanwhile, the Romanian diplomat serving as NATO's deputy chief, after the meeting, has said that “excellent and long-term co-operation” between NATO and the EU in the region continues to make the difference, while adding that they are making efforts to decelerate the situation in northern Kosovo and bring both sides to the negotiating table.
“NATO has been committed to stability in the Western Balkans for decades; our mission of KFOR on the ground, with more than 4 thousand troops, is the strongest demonstration of this” commitment, Geoana said, among other things, as she added that NATO continues to support the EU-attensive dialogue.
Secretary - General NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, said days ago that the North Atlantic Alliance has decided to delocate 700 more troops from the Operational Force for the Western Balkans in Kosovo and has also put an additional battalion of NATO forces on high alert.
Calming the situation in the northern part of Kosovo, holding new local elections and returning to dialogue on normalising Kosovo relations- Serbia is the international organised community's three joint demands for exits from the crisis.
Otherwise, very serious sanctions have been prepared by the European Union and the United States of America to Kosovo because of the disregard for demands by Prime Minister Albin Kurti for lowering tensions in the Serb-run north.
