EC: Belgrade and Pristina need room for agreement
The European Commission (EC) says on Monday it believes Belgrade and Pristina should have space to reach a deal on normalisation of relations, Maja Kocijancic, the EC spokesperson has said.
Speaking to reporters in Brussels, Kocijancic added that the European Union as the mediator in the dialogue could not comment on the possible elements of an agreement, but that it would continue to work intensively with both sides on an overall document which would be supported by the international >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << community.
The Beta news agency quoted her as reiterating that “a lasting solution means an applicable, sustainable and realistic agreement in line with the international law.”
However, Kocijancic fell short of answering reporters’ question about the EC stand toward the ideas of border changes, land swap and ethnically clean territories, saying she "won’t speculate and go into the details in this final phase if the dialogue.”
“They (Belgrade and Pristina) need space to be able to reach an agreement on the overall normalisation. As the mediator, we cannot comment on possible solutions,” Kocijancic said.
She added that the EU Commissioner for Enlargement Johannes Hahn said he received the assurances from both Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic and his Kosovo’s counterpart Hashim Thaci, that any agreement would be specific, tailored by Serbia and Kosovo interests and not a precedent.
“Many things have been said, the dialogue goes on. And that’s why is too soon to say what a final agreement will look like,” Kocijancic said, adding she would not comment on speculations about the EU and some of its member states’ position about the Belgrade – Pristina dialogue, adding that the EU priority was to jointly work on a lasting peace between Kosovo and Serbia and in the region.
