Rohde: After four years, a lot of pessimism is possible

I echoed what Jeff [Hovenier, American ambassador] said. The biggest obstacle to normalising relations is the total lack of political will at the moment for normalising relations”, Rohde has said at the Kosovo Summit for Peace and Democracy, Call Klankosova.

Serbia is essentially protecting the Status Quo, and Kosovo is going to change and rightly”.

“We want a sovereign Kosovo, and we want to achieve Kosovo to be a member of all the organisations that we have mentioned, NATO, the EU, Council of Europe”.

Anyway, after four years, let's get a little more pessimism. I still think we're going to use the right term dynamics because change is possible and we have to remain engaged”.
