Thaci: Final deal to include mutual recognition (BETA, B92)

Hashim Thaci says a final agreement with Belgrade would include mutual recognition, and "Kosovo's Membership in EU, NATO, and the UN.

In an interview with Beta, the Kosovo president said that the outcome of a final and binding agreement on the normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia would be mutual recognition, Kosovo's membership in the EU, NATO and the UN and Serbia's progress on its EU path.

Speaking about a meeting with the U.S. president's envoy, Senator Ron Johnson, Thaci said Washington fully backed the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

"The U.S. and the EU share a position, they have created enough space, under the EU leadership and with close support of the US, to ensure conditions and possibilities for reaching a final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia, which would envisage a mutual international obligation and parallel to that, mutual recognition," he said.

Thaci further said that Kosovo was not stricken by a political or institutional crisis despite the failure to adopt a decision on Kosovo's negotiating team during assembly sessions last week and resolutions adopted by the opposition.
