What is the double sovereignty? Dacic explains (RTS, B92, Beta)
Ivica Dacic said that it is expected that at the upcoming meeting in Berlin, probably would be additional pressure on Belgrade and Pristina to continue the dialogue.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia told Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) that Pristina must abolish the tariffs for this to happen.
"There are additional pressures on Serbia in order to appease Pristina to suspend the tariffs, " Dacic said.
According to him, the double sovereignty was speculated and that it was not officially proposed as a solution to the Kosovo problem. Dacic said that and the idea was not acceptable to Serbia.
According to Dacic that double sovereignty meant that in the north of Kosovo, after a decade, a referendum could be held.
"This solution means that Serbia recognizes Kosovo, that this part (north of Kosovo) is under the influence of double sovereignty, and at some point, to hold a referendum," said Serbia's FM Dacic, adding that for Serbia and the idea was unacceptable.
He said that nobody officially presented that solution, adding that it did not exist anywhere in the world and that he did not see why Serbia would accept that.
He said that the Berlin summit on April 29, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Emmanuel Macron and representatives of Belgrade and Pristina, was summoned to the enormous surprise of Brussels.
"Many countries are unhappy that it is being maintained, such as Austria and Italy. Geopolitical games are being played not only with Russia and China, but within the countries of the West," Dacic said.
