Serbian opposition People’s Party leader Vuk Jeremic said today that Belgrade has never been closer to an agreement with Pristina, BETA news agency reports.

Serbia has never been closer to demarcation with Kosovo, he said, adding that a legally binding agreement to normalize Belgrade-Pristina relations will be signed in 2019 unless someone prevents the Serbian authorities from doing so.

“There has never been more intensive, behind the scenes, negotiation about a demarcation and the process is being brought to an end. Unless we do something to stop the regime, they will sign a legally binding agreement on normalizing relations between Serbia and Kosovo in 2019,” the former Serbian foreign minister said.

According to Jeremic, that would mean Kosovo’s membership in the UN and the “unstoppable” creation of a Greater Albania.

“Serbia has entered a stage in which preventing the expression of different opinions has become an integral part of political life,” he said and recalled the increasingly frequent attacks on opponents and bans on opposition gatherings.
