British Ambassador to Pristina Ruairí O'Connell believes that the decision of the Serb political representatives to "freeze" their participation in the Government and the Assembly of Kosovo was a mistake, stressing that boycott as a political tool never gave results.

British Ambassador in Kosovo Ruairí O'Connell, visiting the show 'Dogovor' on RTV Kim, said that the Serbian list should consider return to the institutions.

"Along the whole of the Balkan there is a history of boycotts as a political tool and I cannot remember a lot of cases when this proved to be successful," said O 'Connell.

No matter whether it is about principles, the ambassador believes it does not work and proposes cooperation of sides, the Serbian List and coalition partners.

Speaking on the issue of 1,600 missing persons in Kosovo, O 'Connell says that personally to him, the problem is in his heart, and believes those leaders and the Kosovo and Serbia must take more to shed light on their fate.

Commenting recent speech of British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson in Kosovo parliament, in which he said that Britain would monitor the work of the Special Court, O 'Connell says that Britain expects the cooperation of all in Kosovo on this point.

"Let's be clear, we expect of all, to fully cooperate with the court, and I think it will be difficult for us to understand if anyone fails to cooperate with the court. At the same time, we expect the investigation of war crimes to continue in the Balkans. It is clear that there is a level of evidence of the crimes committed in the nineties and the beginning of this millennium, which should be investigated."

He stresses that people who committed war crimes should be convicted, not because of who they are, not because of the political consequences, but for peace and the future of the Balkans.
