Reconciliation with neighbours is important and requires great efforts, European Council President Donald Tusk said in Warsaw on Saturday, warning that “the historical baggage will evoke demons” if no effort is invested in this process.

“I see what is happening as in some places e.g. in the Balkans, where the situation is almost boiling over,” said Tusk, speaking at a ceremony of Poland's newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza 30th anniversary where he was rewarded the Man of the Year title.

The only way for the dialogue on normalization of relations to continue is if Pristina withdraws its extremely unreasonable decisions. President Aleksandar Vucic said this in Brussels on Wednesday, in a conversation with President of the European Council Donald Tusk.

Vucic talked with Tusk about the situation in the region, Pristina's unlawful measures, and Serbia's EU integration, and on that occasion stressed that the only way to continue the dialogue is for Pristina to revoke its "extremely unreasonable decisions."
