Serwer: Vuciq hinders dialogue with Kosovo, makes interventions even in Montenegro, BiH

Daniel Serwer, professor at John Hopkins University in the US, says dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia would have a solution if Serbia and its president treated Kosovo as a neighbouring state, not as its territory. Serbia can announce that it respects Kosovo authorities and Kosovo territory, to handle it [...]
Serbia can announce that it respects Kosovo authorities and the territory of Kosovo, to treat it neighbourlyly. It could then prosecute those responsible for the terrorist attack on Banjska and the riots against KFOR troops. Such a thing would dramatically change dialogue, even without official diplomatic recognition”, Serwer has said in an interview for Danas.
But he says instead, Belgrade did the opposite.
“It continues to question Kosovo's governmental authority and territory in any case”.
And it is not only Kosovo that Vuciqi is constantly dealing with, according to Cerwer, the Serbian president makes even tougher interventions in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The intervention in Montenegro is obvious. Intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina is somewhat less obvious, but it happens because Milorad Dodik mostly does what Vuciq wants. He aspires to a Serbian “bot”, which means Belgrade de facto controls the Serb population in neighbouring countries. He's making a lot of progress in this regard”.
Serwer also spoke of Vucinqi's refusal at the BICS summit. He says nobody in the West cares if Vuciq goes to the BICS summit.
Of course, he could try to sell this to diplomats as part of his false “conversion to West””, says the American professor.
Serwr says Vuciq has received permission from Moscow to sit in two chairs.
“Moscow has decided that it will also tolerate Vuciki's “either chair”. But unlike Washington, Vuciq gives Moscow most of what he wants”.
