Erhard Busek, the former head of the Stability Pact, told Klan Kosova on Thursday that Serbia should recognize the independence of Kosovo as soon as possible. Busek said the only way toward the European Union is to acknowledge the new reality in the Balkans and added that full reconciliation between Kosovo and Serbia will take time. Commenting on the issue of visa liberalization for Kosovo, Busek said the isolation of Kosovars is not right. He also highlighted the high level of unemployment and lack of economic development as the main reasons behind the irregular migration of Kosovars.
