(2 years ago)German Ambassador Jorn Rohde has said normalisation between Kosovo and Serbia should end in recognition, if the two states want to join the European Union. “Normisation should result in recognition, if both, Kosovo and Serbia, want to join the EU. Very often what is labeled step by step results [...]
“Normisation should result in recognition, if both, Kosovo and Serbia, want to join the EU. All too often what's been labeled step by step turns out to be tate for tattoo that doesn't help either side. Courageous decisions are very necessary! ”, wrote Rohde on the X platform.
The expression “Tit for Tat” used by the ambassador describes a reciprocity situation in action, especially when someone responds to revenge.
Even US Ambassador to Pristina Jeff Hovenier, yesterday in a television interview, has clarified the term <x0 ... normalised” between Kosovo and Serbia, since he says some people in Kosovo worry when they hear something like this from Americans saying, thinking that this is something less than what has really been required.
Hüvenier has said he is happy to explain that such terminology implies something like that and re-exemplifies that the US position has been clear in two camps.
The American diplomat has said that the US position is that the final result of negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia can only be mutual recognition.
“The US believes the final result of this process may only have been mutually recognised”, Havenier in Kosovo has said.
The U.S. ambassador has said that he expresses his American position with enough conviction.
Otherwise, meetings recently held in dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, whether at the top level or at that of the chief negotiators, have a common denominator: the outcome without concrete results.
The parties, who dialogue from 2011 under the European Union's mediation, constantly blame each other for failing to implement existing agreements or for failing to dialogue, meanwhile, the EU has stressed that there is a lack of political will for implementing agreements.
Kosovo and Serbia also have different opinions on concluding the process of normalising the reports. Kosovo requires mutual recognition, meanwhile, Serbia wants to compromise where “neither side will be an absolute winner or absolute loser”.
