Ljajic: EU and US admit Kosovo status is not solved yet (BETA, N1, RTS)
Serbian Deputy Prime Minister Rasim Ljajic said the Czech Republic President statement that Prague might reconsider the decision on recognition of Kosovo independence, as well as voices from Brussels and Washington about the need for compromise, showed that Pristina’s status had not been solved yet, BETA news agency reports on Thursday.
Ljajic also told RTS that one shouldn’t be optimistic that Milos Zeman’s statement would influence other European Union member states, but it showed that in Prague as well as in the EU, there was no consent about the issue.
"We don’t have an illusion that the EU and US will withdraw their decisions to recognize Kosovo independence, but a major change is in the fact they at least admit that the status is not solved and that negotiations are necessary for finding a compromise. Any imposed solution can escalate, and that is something no one needs,” Ljajic said.
