Bodo Weber, an analyst at the Council for Politics and Democratization in Berlin, said he expected a real restart of the dialogue this year and believed that, as he said, “the final global agreement between Belgrade and Pristina will create a new Kosovo.” start living in peace next to each other ”.
In an interview for Kosovo Online, Weber said that, for one thing, 2020 was another year lost in the dialogue, in the sense that there have been no real negotiations on the final deal for the past three and a half years, Tanjug reports.
On the other hand, 2020 was a year in which, according to Weber, “the dangerous idea of exchanging territories was definitely defeated”, which, in his opinion, “would only satisfy the personal interests of the two presidents and several irresponsible representatives of the West” .
Weber believes that this idea would lead to a mass exodus of Serbs south of Ibar, and that northern Kosovo and Metohija would end, as he put it, in “an autocratic Serbia with a status similar to Kursumlija.”
According to Weber, the reestablishment of dialogue should lead to the start of genuine negotiations on a global agreement based on the principles of 2014, which, according to him, were accepted by Belgrade in due course, that is, the time has passed to change the borders in the Balkans.
Weber believes that Belgrade must turn to a real policy based on the fact that, as he claims, I am largely responsible for the loss of Kosovo and that the focus of the dialogue should be on normalizing bilateral relations and providing the conditions for the normal life of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.
For Weber, the fact is that Belgrade, according to the cadastre, owns 58 percent of the land in Kosovo and Metohija, “it says in the spirit that Kosovo is Serbia.”
“I believe that as soon as the original framework and principles of the negotiations are established, which include, as President Vucic well knows, the recognition of Kosovo by Serbia in a longer process of implementation of the final agreement, which should end with the Serbian accession to the EU, realistic solutions for all open bilateral issues, including this one, ”Weber said.
