EU sanctions official: They're temporary

The chief of co-operation in the EU office in Kosovo, Alessandro Bianciard, at a media conference has spoken of EU measures towards Kosovo, saying the EU has adopted a series of measures, as he put it, to send a clear message.

Bianciard said these measures are temporary and are returnive steps, followed by Clankosova.tv.

“I want to draw attention to obstacles in the road and focus, development and future co-operation, as political stability is important to ensure Kosovo's progress. The current political situation appeals to us to the exacerbating of tension in the north, and on this road the EU has adopted a series of measures to send the clear message”.

So saying this, I want to stress that these are temporary measures and that they're irreversible steps. I'd like to stress that these are temporary measures and a return step. Our full level of financial assistance and political engagement will begin as soon as escalation is made according to our recommendations”, he said.
