European Commissioner for Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn said in an interview for the Spanish paper El Pais said that he hopes that once a legally binding agreement between Kosovo and Serbia is reached, the five EU countries that have not recognised Kosovo will reconsider their decision. “The common position of the EU is that when we speak about the Balkans, we wither export stability or import instability. Experience has shown us that sustainable peace and stability in the Balkans can only be achieved through European perspective,” Hahn said. He added that a legally binding agreement between Kosovo and Serbia is necessary and even crucial for the region. Speaking about Spain’s position on Kosovo, Hahn said the country has contributed to the stability of the region. “We have strategic agreements with Kosovo. We need to let Kosovo and Serbia reach agreement and if this is achieved, we will see what the next steps are,” Hahn said.
