Janjiq: Drama with the dinar will probably last until autumn

Former Slovenia President Borut Pahor will run for the post of special European Union envoy for dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, while the mandate will be received after the end of Miroslav Lajcak's mandate in August. Under the candidacy he is preparing the draft for continuing negotiations, this has confirmed Saturday at his headquarters in Ljubljana.

During this time dialogue is under way, but the process itself is standing in one place. Recently, formal negotiations for resolving the problem with the removal of the Serbian dinar in Kosovo, while the Franco-German plan -- the Ohrid Agreement -- becomes part of the 35th chapter of talks between Serbia and Kosovo for eventual membership in the European Union, respectively.

Dusan Janjic from the Forum for Ethnic Relations has told Serbian television “Nova (17x1) TV about how far we've reached and what's done away, the Paparac broadcasts.

This with the dinar will probably continue until autumn, because Kosovo essentially aims to form an integrated internal circulation and really doesn't exist, if Serbia is not the exception to the Yuan after the president of China's visit, so there is no place that tolerates two currency. It is known how this wave duality came, it was not the Kosovo authorities' decision, it was the European Union's decision from UNMIK's time, when it was a deutschmark, then changed, it was a decision UNMIK to rule out Albanian money. The Serbian dinar has remained for two reasons, the first is that Kosovo was not a state and it has not had its currency, the second is for practical reasons. At the time, the dinar was used extensively by companies, institutions, citizens, which lasted until 2017. Since then you have no major company on which Serbia has any influence, all were under the management of the Kosovo Privatisation Agency, people are no longer employed there and the dinar can no longer be used”, Janjic said.

He has reminded Serbia that there is no payment transaction with Kosovo and that this double standard is being used at the expense of the Serbian economy.
