Kosovo Foreign Affairs Minister Behgjet Pacolli said he “personally does not see chances for political solution” of the Kosovo issue, and believes in “economic solution for what both sides have interests, Insajder portal reports.

According to the Serbian media, Pacolli proposes north of Kosovo to become a large economic zone, part of it would belong to Serbia, part to Kosovo, and someone else would manage that economic zone.

“I keep saying this since 2007. This is where I see solution. But maybe it is the way too soon for such ideas,” Pacolli said in an interview for DW.

He thinks Pristina should not revoke the decision on introducing taxes for goods from Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the reactions from USA, Germany and other Western European countries.

He added Kosovo is ready to revoke taxes only if “all signed agreements” are implemented and if there is “100 percent reciprocity” between Kosovo and Serbia.
