Veteran Balkan envoy Miroslav Lajcak warns any possible land swap between Serbia and Kosovo along ethnic lines would have broad ramifications for the region.
A land swap between Serbia and Kosovo along ethnic lines – as a way to bury their differences and clear a path to European Union – goes against “the spirit of democracy” and the very foundations of the EU, Slovak Foreign Minister and veteran Balkan envoy Miroslav Lajcak says.
The presidents of Serbia and its former Kosovo province have both mooted the possibility of redrawing borders as a route to a settlement that Kosovo hopes would see it join the United Nations and, eventually, the EU.
