Kosovo’s Minister without portfolio, Edita Tahiri, does not agree with the criticism of the opposition parties and civil society that the European Union (EU) is “spoiling” Serbia. Tahiri told Zeri that the EU has put the Chapter 35 for Serbia, which demands the normalization of relations with Kosovo, and requires the withdrawal of parallel structures in the north. "The EU is warning Serbia for its negligence regarding the implementation of agreements with Kosovo. This is also noted in the issue that Serbia is still failing to start negotiations with Brussels for EU membership," Tahiri said.  She said that since January 2014, Serbia has been given the green light to start the process of dialogue for EU membership, and since then Belgrade officials have not begun negotiations. This, according to her, is because Serbia’s lack of cooperation with Kosovo, in regards to the implementation of agreements.
