Brussels to send a “special envoy” to Pristina on Thursday (Gazeta Blic)
Authorities in Brussels will send on Thursday as special envoy to Pristina who is expected to meet leaders of all parties. This EU senior official is expected to clarify to the leaders the principles upon which the future government of Kosovo should be build, international sources told Gazeta Blic.
“The main condition, or principle, of European Union is continuation of talks with Serbia. This senior Brussels official will demand anyone who forms the government to continue negotiations with Serbia”, the source said.
An important condition is also creating a coalition of the majority because of certain sensitive processes Kosovo is expected to face such as the creation of the Special Court which could lead to big arrests. According to the source, another condition is not stopping the privatization process. However, the issue of talks with Serbia is of paramount importance to Brussels.
The EU will however not interfere between parties as to who will join who in the future ruling coalition. “The issue of the forming of the government will be left in the hands of the parties. The EU is interested in conveying to the leaders of parties the conditions on which the new government needs to be build”, the source stressed.
