Hahn: Belgrade-Pristina agreement specific, not precedent
The agreement between Belgrade and Pristina should be specific, adapted and not a precedent, European Commissioner Johannes Hahn told the Friday edition of Podgorica daily Pobjeda, adding that it has to be in line with international law.
The view of High Representative Federica Mogherini as mediator in the negotiations is clear and was clear from the start of her mandate – the joint action for a lasting peace between Serbia and Kosovo and in the region as a whole is the main priority >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << of the European Union, Hahn said.
Asked if changes to the borders are acceptable to the EU, the commissioner said that a lasting solution means a viable, realistic solution based on international law. “That is the guiding principle. (…) Every agreement has to be specific and adapted, and not a precedent and it has to contribute to regional stability and the region’s path to the EU. The sides define the framework for agreement and they said in public that they see the priorities for a lasting solution. They should be given room to agree on the content of the comprehensive agreement on normalization,” he said.
“We will try and continue working with both sides on a comprehensive and viable solution which will have the support of the international community and which will be fully implemented by all sides,” he said and recalled that no country can join the EU without first resolving bilateral issues.
