Analyst: Request to return Kosovo issue to UN the only appropriate reaction to Pristina’s ban (Danas, BETA)
Analyst Cvjetin Milivojevic assessed today the request to return Kosovo issue to the United Nations would be the only appropriate reaction of Serbia to Pristina’s decision to ban entry to all Serbian officials, Danas daily reports.
“Only this way Serbia could react as a serious state. Any other way would indicate that Serbian officials have neither idea nor solution to the Kosovo issue,” Milojevic told BETA news agency.
He noted Serbia since the Brussels agreement was in “a paradox situation” its officials were not able to enter Kosovo without “special permission of Pristina authorities.”
“Those who negotiated on behalf of Serbia accepted indirectly to go to Kosovo as foreigners. This today went one step further. Until now we had Pristina’s good will whether it would let some Serbian officials or not,” Milojevic said.
He stressed today’s Pristina decision is an argument why the stance of the UN SC must be requested, since it gave the mandate to the EU to mediate the dialogue. He added this is also an indicator that the dialogue since its beginning “was without arranged procedure and relations.”
