Norwegian envoy to Serbia: I would be surprised with Belgrade–Pristina deal in June (Beta, N1)
The Norwegian ambassador to Serbia Arne Sannes Bjørnstad said on Wednesday that Oslo would support any agreement between Serbia and Kosovo which would secure the respect of human rights and would be good for the regional stability, the Beta news agency reported.
Commenting on the media report that a deal between Belgrade and Pristina would be signed in June, the envoy said he doubted “the story was true.”
The German “Frankfurter Rundschau” had reported that the EU and the US were ready to accept the territory swap between Kosovo and Serbia and that an agreement which would be in place after six months should be signed in Washington on June 12.
“I would be stunned if Serbia and Kosovo reached an agreement in June. There are a lot of obstacles along the way. Let's wait what they will agree on at the end,” Bjørnstad told the agency.
He added Pristina should immediately annul the 100 percent import tariffs on goods from Serbia and Bosnia introduced last November.
“They should not have been introduced at all,” Bjørnstad said.
