West will demand from Serbia to allow Kosovo’s membership in the United Nations, but it needs to pass some time.
Thus for Blic, commented Aleksandar Popov, director of the Centre for Regionalism, findings of Blic that German Chancellor Angela Merkel will demand from Serbia to regulate relations with Pristina on the model of the eastern and western Germany in the period up to 1990, which did not block each other in the UN, although they were not mutually recognized.
– Things have to go step by step, first we have to complete the so-called normalization of relations, and the Prime Minister Vucic would might have major problems to explain, at this point, to voters why he agreed onto Kosovo at the UN. Due to the fact the municipal and provincial elections come, with such moves, the power would experience a debacle with their own electorate, because there is a limit to all the twists and concessions that are made. It should also be borne in mind that Vucic enjoys the confidence of Germany, so do not expect a lot of pressure by Merkel – says Popov.
However, in diplomatic circles yesterday, for Blic, was reiterated that it is not too early for a request for Kosovo’s membership in the UN, because the West wants the Kosovo issue solved as soon as possible, because of the Ukraine and problems with Russia.
Agreement on Normalization
Germans and Americans seek admission of Kosovo to the United Nations and because it is the only way that it becomes a member of the Council of Europe, OSCE and the European Union. Everything would have been packed through a new agreement on the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, foreseen also by the strategic framework of the EU for the accession negotiations with Serbia.
