Returning to dialogue, without high expectations

For steps to be taken towards normalising Kosovo-Serbia relations, Emisari Lajcak remained in Pristina on Tuesday, where he met with Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi.

However, he said restarting the process would not be easy.

Challenges in this regard also see connoisseurs and political circumstances in Kosovo.

According to them, even if the parties return to dialogue, it will hardly succeed from these meetings.

Serbia is buying time in dialogue with Kosovo. Serbia has failed dialogue. It buys time, expects new political and geopolitical circumstances to tear down part of Kosovo. Kosovo's leadership remains to rethink, recalibrate dialogue because that's how it is, it cannot produce any results because neither from Serbia nor the EU”, said Melazim Koci, politicologist.

We didn't have the normalisation of reports between Kosovo and Serbia, and we didn't have signed agreements or implementation, adding that even a terrorist attack in the north. Postmangently, it should be written in Mr. Lajcak's CV because it happened at the time he was and is a fan of this dialogue process”, analyst Fidan Ukaj said.

Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislimi, at the same time chief negotiator in the dialogue process, a day after meeting with Emissar Lajcak in Pristina, said progress has never been dependent on Kosovo, but it is Serbia that constantly opposes implementation of the basic agreement. /rtclives
