Dacic: Agreement with Pristina should be reached during Trump’s time (BETA)
Serbian Foreign Affairs Minister Ivica Dacic said that a lasting solution in Belgrade-Pristina dialogue should be reached as soon as possible, since a change in the international relations might occur, BETA news agency reports.
“It is necessary to speed up the dialogue, reach a lasting solution, do not waste time, and for the Serbian interests it would be good to end this process as soon as possible, since international relations might change, Dacic said during the news conference with Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
He also noted the President Trump’s administration was the first American administration that opened the door to reach a compromise between Belgrade and Pristina.
“Some administration earlier and maybe some in the future, would have a stance the compromise is to recognize the independence of Kosovo,” Dacic said.
He added, the EU High Representative Federica Mogherini supports the efforts to reach a compromise, and that after her “maybe somebody else would come and not be in favour for that.”
Dacic assessed it is needed to reach an agreement in the next year or two, adding if an agreement is not reached within this timeframe, it would hardly be reached ever after that.
