Maliqi: West does not support ZSO to be “state within a state” (Danas)
Agreement on Association/Community of Serb-majority Municipalities did not stipulate creation of a third level of executive power, respectively Serb autonomy, which would create situation in Kosovo similar to that in Bosnia, Pristina-based analyst Shkelzen Maliqi told Danas daily.
According to him, Supreme Court critically analyzed earlier prepared ZSO concept to prevent turning of ZSO into an ethnically based “state within a state,” adding that the EU and USA do not support such ambitions of official Belgrade and Kosovo Serbs.
Maliqi went on saying that Vucic often seeks impossible compromise as to create the impression that he has tried it all, but world powers do not wish such a compromise. He thinks there are possibly two scenarios in place, one seeking exchange of territories, North of Kosovo for Presevo valley, and the second one seeking even greater compensation, loss of Kosovo to be compensated by enabling secession of the Republic of Srpska. According to Maliqi both scenarios are unacceptable and dangerous, Danas daily reported.
