Periskopi(a year ago)
(a year ago)Toby Vogel, of the Council for Democratic Policy in Brussels, commenting on the institutional blockade in Kosovo, said the challenges in the country cannot be attributed only to one person or party, as the political atmosphere and international pressures are complex and often contradictory. He has no clear answers on how to get out of the parliamentary seat, [...]
He does not have clear answers on how to get out of the parliamentary stalemate, but he thinks outside intervention would not be useful either by the EU or the US.
According to him, the wisest choice would be for parties to engage themselves in resolving the situation by overcoming the institutional stalemate, constitutionalising the Assembly and forming a functional government, which would then be engaged in important processes that lay off the country.
“Of course, the dialogue on normalising relations with Serbia is also suffering, but, on the other hand, it has been dead for many years, even for reasons that had nothing to do with Kosovo Government”, Vogel tells Radio Free Europe.
Exit from this crisis, according to him, would give Kosovo an opportunity to show the world that it is a constructive and serious party, while Serbia is the one that continues to violate the Brussels and Ohrid agreements on normalising relations.
For the impact of the institutional blockade on the road to Kosovo's European integration, Vogel sége closely linked to actuality.
Kosovo's <x0) integration into the EU has completely stalled because of the five non-recognitional countries and some connoisseur countries over all of Hungary that are hostile to Kosovo, or others like France, who are hostile to enlargement”, Vogel says. /Periscope/
