Berlin withdraw disputed amendment? (Vecernje Novosti)
The crises of the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, related to the recent decision of Kosovo authorities to suspend formation of the ZSO, will not influence opening of the negotiation chapters with the EU. According to some information, official Belgrade still leads a diplomatic action to change the text of the unacceptable draft negotiating plan for Chapter 35, which could be opened already in December.
For the beginning there is a realistic possibility that official Berlin withdraw disputed amendment from the plan. Allegedly Germany is ready to make some minor corrections of the certain parts of platform, and which Belgrade marked as disputable since they imply indirect recognition of Kosovo independence.
The final text of the negotiating plan for Chapter 35, related to the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina should be defined by 28 member states at the beginning of December. As learned, at the end of November the Committee for the EU Council enlargement (COELA) should meet, define the final version of the document and forward it to the European leaders for adoption.
