Serbian political analyst and the chairperson of the Forum for Ethnic Relations Dušan Janjić stated on Friday that new agreement on administrative crossings with Kosovo should accelerate transfer of people and merchandize.
Janjić said to Beta agency that Serbian side will try to present it as a big success, however the premises which exist throughout the Europe will be erected there and that only a Kosovo flag won’t be in place.
“In essence, that is a very important agreement. That means that passage across the border will be easier. It is about an agreement that will settle problems with regard to the soil and infrastructure issues. It will accelerate the next step, which is construction of the highway Nis-Prsitina,” commented Janjić.
He went on to say that it is not about the administrative crossing, as presented by the Serbian government, instead it is about the border crossings because the agreement initialed in 2013 is titled Agreement on Integrated Border Management.
“It is the border. When one apprehends it, the border zone Kuršumlija will start developing, and legal business will be able to develop and illegal one suppressed,” said Janjić.
Janjić added that illegal crossing was one of the issues that were discussed, whereas a discussion about where will the funds (tax and customs revenues) go from ‘borders’ in northern Kosovo, will have to wait for prime minsters.
