Pristina received some sort of “yellow light” from Washington to “act stubborn” before the next phase of negations in Brussels on resolving the Kosovo issue, which is shown by the refusal of Kosovo representatives to take part in a new round of technical dialogue, Danas daily reports referring to unofficial diplomatic sources.

According to Danas interlocutors, Pristina’s message that “technical dialogue is senseless unless energy is the first topic” indirectly shows “USA are displeased because Belgrade does not accept a plan for resolving the Kosovo issue that would enable Kosovo membership in the UN, without formal recognition by Belgrade.”

“America remains the biggest partner of Kosovo Albanians, and impression is created “a game of nerves” related to Kosovo is ongoing now. However, chances are minimal, almost inexistent that Pristina would take over the north of Kosovo with armed actions, since it does not go in its favour, and would depict Kosovo in the world as someone repeating the 2004 March violence,” Danas further said.

Contrary to the US, the EU shows “to a certain degree greater flexibility” so the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini “would do her utmost” to bring the Serbian and Kosovo presidents in the second half of this month “at Brussels table,” Danas daily concluded.
