According to the media reports, referring to unnamed sources, political directors for the Western Balkans of five Western countries, met on consultations on the final phase of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, scheduled to take place in the coming months and be crowned by a final agreement between the parties, expected to result in a normalization of relations.
So far it has been thought that this normalization does not imply recognition of Kosovo by Serbia, but only recognition of reality, that is, allowing the membership of Kosovo in the UN, which would allow Serbia to become a member of the EU.
Among western diplomats, the media say, there is already alignment on what might be considered the leading principles. One of these principles is that “better to have no agreement than to have a bad agreement” between the parties.
A bad agreement would be a partition of Kosovo and something like the Republika Srpska in Kosovo, the media reports, referring to unnamed souUNrces.
With this goal, apart from Brussels, talks are taking place in other centers, like Berlin, and it is stated that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has already called to her cabinet Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic twice, and that she met with the Kosovo President Hashim Thaci on Wednesday.
