Rasim Ljajic believes that a frozen conflict related to the Kosovo issue does not suit Serbia, and proposes “normalization without recognition” as a solution.
The minister of trade, telecommunications, and tourism, who also serves as a deputy PM and is the leader of the SDPS party, is the latest Serbian official to write an op-ed on this topic for a Belgrade newspaper, since President Aleksandar Vucic launched his “internal dialogue on Kosovo.”
In his article published in the daily Blic, Ljajic proposes resolving the issue in three phases – with Serbia asking the EU to make “concrete concessions” in exchange for Belgrade “agreeing to Kosovo’s admission to international organizations.”
According to him, hardly anywhere do historical and ethnic principles “clash so directly and intensely” as in Kosovo.
