(3 years ago)The United States' Emissar in the Kosovo-Serbia-Serbia-Escobar talks in an interview for Croatia Television (HRT) has said that Josep Borrell and Miroslav Lajcak have presented three simple steps for the North Despass. The first step is to get people off the road. Mayors should not be chosen for it [...]
We need new elections with unconditional Serb participation. We also need a deadline for the Serb side to implement its share and a draft statute for the Association of Serb-run municipalities in Kosovo. It's about equality, equality and benefits for both sides” he stressed.
If these two sides do not accept the EU's plan for calming the conflict could have an even bigger crisis” has said Escobar.
“In Ohrid was about a normalisation agreement to create peaceful conditions between two hostile neighbours according to European rules. Not only did they normalise their relations but they also harmonised with the EU. We have to go back to that” has added Escobar.
On the other hand, the US diplomat has stressed that the agreement creates the right conditions for deepening European integration.
A series of destabilizing actions developed in the meantime. This distracted us from implementing that agreement. We have to go back to that”, US Special Envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar said.
