Octopus Institute Director Arben Fetosti has estimated that dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia is not expected to be in the near agenda of the European Union, despite Brussels’ continued messages for the continuation of the process.
On show F. IVE, Fetos has also spoken of Kosovo’s path towards the European Union and Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s request from France to restore mutual recognition at the centre of dialogue.
He has said that following Russian aggression in Ukraine, the West has pursued another approach towards Serbia, with the aim of turning it away from the orbit of Russian influence. However, according to him, the framework of mutual recognition has been restored from the United States as a conclusion of the dialogue process, which makes up Pristina’s official stance.
Fetoshi has stressed that Kurti has reiterated that request today before the European Union envoy, insisting that the dialogue be concluded with mutual recognition between the two countries.
Well, I think it’s a question, because Europe is actually in the greatest possible estimates of the geopolitical implications of war in Ukraine. And as for Europe’s strategic relations with the United States of America within its security architecture. And on that basis, I think so. From Mr. Sorensen’s point of view, dialogue is the next normal agenda, in the sense that Kosovo’s institutional consolidation already enables that, but in Serbia it cannot afford that. What we see after parliamentary elections there, because after winning the student list, we still have no consolidation institutions in Serbia. The first and second, of course the fate of the dialogue, will also determine the position of new power after the end of Aleksandar Vucinqi’s long rule there, he has declared.
However, he has estimated that the resumption of dialogue in the near future remains uncertain, as Kosovo has already consolidated institutions, while Serbia has not yet completed this process following election developments.
And on this basis I think dialogue is not a very close agenda that awaits us in the coming days, despite the fact that official Brussels will continue to send messages to continue the dialogue, which is the way it would have to enable the normalisation of reports between Kosovo and Serbia.
According to Fetosit, the European Union’s main attention in the coming period will be to Belgrade and the formation of the new government, especially because of different positions within the student list regarding Serbia’s foreign policy, reports with Kosovo, sanctions against Russia and European integration.
He has said that the position of new power in Serbia, after the end of Aleksandar Vucinqi’s long rule, will be one of the factors that will determine the future of dialogue and relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
