The President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci said today at the conference VOX POPULI ON THE ‘GRAND FINALE’ BETWEEN KOSOVO AND SERBIA – organized by Research Institute of Development and European Affairs (RIDEA,) that the dialogue for the reach of final agreement with Serbia, is unavoidable.
“We want to once and for all clarify our relationship with Serbia, which can only be reached through dialogue which has the support of the U.S. and the EU. The time has come to leave hostility behind. If the agreement is not reached this year, we will enter a dangerous zone that could destabilise the entire region,” Thaci said.
“These days, through letters from Trump and Pompeo, we have received clear guarantees that agreement with Serbia means mutual recognition. We can not have bigger guarantees than the words and pledge of the U.S. Administration on this,” he added.
“Recognition of Kosovo from Serbia without any condition would have been the most rightful conclusion, but in politics, rightness seldom prevails. We do not expect easy discussions in Brussels,” Thaci said at the conference.
