In an exclusive interview for Jeta ne Kosove, Balkan affairs analyst and former advisor of current president Hashim Thaci, Daniel Serwer, comments on the current border corrections debate

The Kosovo-Serbia border correction scenario is a dangerous plan resulting in a step backwards for Kosovo in its statehood ambitions, said Daniel Serwer during his interview with BIRN’s Jeta Xharra on Wednesday for TV program Jeta ne Kosove.

Serwer said that Kosovo should accept no price in return for territorial swaps, even the promise of a UN seat, and most definitely not before Serbia recognizes Kosovo as a sovereign state.

In his interview, Serwer also comments the shift of the American position on the issue of Kosovo with the Trump administration in power, and explains that in the end, the only beneficiary of this land swap idea will be Russian President Vladimir Putin.
