But he added that the Serbian president is rightly wondering if the EU offers a European perspective in return.
He told the Austrian newspaper Wiener Zeitung that the hardest part of the job was starting a dialogue and that the goal was a legally binding agreement, Voice of America reports.
“We already have a draft text on displaced people and economic cooperation. But here too, the principle is that nothing has been agreed until everything is agreed. We are currently discussing very complex issues, including financial claims and rights holders,” he said Lajak.
The EU special envoy recalled that the agreement on the Union of Serbian Municipalities was reached in 2013 and 2015 and asked why it was not being implemented.
“It is a very sensitive issue that the Constitutional Court of Kosovo has also addressed, that opinion must be taken into account. But I ask those who say that now is not the time for that: when, if not now? So you signed the agreement”.
Lajak admitted that Vui rightly asks what the EU offers Serbia in return.
“President Vui is asking a legitimate question. We hope he will make a powerful decision, and he asks: How can I explain to citizens that this is good for them? This negotiation process has been linked to the European perspective of the country from the beginning and now Vui asks: How much will we get those European perspectives? “
