The Norwegian Ambassador to Kosovo Per Strand Sjaastad warned today that if an agreement with Serbia is not reached, there will be serious consequences for Kosovo.
“As far as the dialogue is concerned, its conclusion is very important and it gives shape to your country. Many see 2019 as possible solution. RIEDA Institute commenced a research by interviewing citizens. According to the survey, majority of the citizens support the dialogue and the message is that people want change. Political parties agreed on mutual recognition, however, there is no consensus for the moment. One thing should be clear that every option has a price and its reach is a difficult compromise while lack of reach of an agreement is loss of the chance to include Kosovo in international projects. Kosovo has to do a lot as far as improvements in healthcare, education…are concerned,” Sjaastad said.
