Belgrade would be wrong to go slow on a Kosovo solution because it expects to face a more sympathetic Europe after the May elections.
Besides justified fears of courting nationalist fury, one theory doing the rounds about why Serbia’s government is so reluctant to wrap up the Kosovo issue is the European elections.
Proponents of this theory say Belgrade hopes the elections in May will see nationalists and populists storming ahead, resulting in a parliament that is much friendlier to Serbia and a lot less sympathetic to Kosovo and its independence.
