The former Special Coordinator of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe, Erhard Busek, in an interview for Kosova Press said that given the need to establish normal relations between Kosovo and Serbia, diplomatic games are not very useful. According to him, Serbia's arrest warrant on Kosovo's Deputy Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, is a political game. "These are all political games with no future. Serbia should think also about the arrest warrants which have affected the Serbs themselves in the past,” Busek said.

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.
