Director of the Center for Foreign Policy Aleksandra Joksimovic told Radio Television Serbia (RTS) that intensifying talks between Belgrade and Pristina, as well as the influence of international factors, could lead to positive moves that would result with the agreement.
She says that one should expect to appear drafts from various sources related to the Belgrade-Pristina agreement, regardless of the fact that it has no content still.
-It is clear that in the following period we will have a significant intensification of the dialogue and that all actors will try to execute such kind of influence that will allow for a significant breakthrough in the negotiation process, which would result in an adequate timeframe and signing a comprehensive agreement on the normalization of relations, says Joksimovic.
Technical dialogue always has a limited scope, which is why, says Joksimovic, it is impossible to reach the final solution without a political agreement that is now being announced as a binding agreement on normalization.
-At this moment, we have a situation where President Vucic is politically exceptionally strong, unlike Thaci, who has significant political problems within Kosovo, Joksimovic says.
Joksimovic expects “adequate pressures” from international actors, which have an impact on Pristina, in the coming period in order to implement the part of the Brussels agreement that applies to the Community/Association of Serb Municipalities (ZSO).
“As for Kosovo, there are certain types of significant pressures such as the establishment of a Special War Crimes Court and Demarcation with Montenegro. However, the establishment of the Community of Serb Municipalities remains the key to progress,” Joksimovic says.
“Without any dilemma, we are talking about difficult negotiations that move slowly in a positive direction, and in the coming period we will have an intensification of the talks, and all factors will influence the agreement to come,” Aleksandra Joksimovic told RTS.
