Former UN ambassador Vladislav Jovanovic says for “Novosti” that such demands from Pristina seem more guerrilla than political. It also notes that it is known how the resolutions adopted by the Security Council change.
– The only one that could consider the idea of replacing or withdrawing Resolution 1244 is the Security Council, and for that it would be necessary to determine in advance that it has lost its value or that a situation has developed that no longer makes it necessary. In this way, which they envisioned in Pristina, only shows that they are not even close to statehood and that they are amateurs in foreign policy, says Jovanović.
TAČI GIVES TRUMP ORDER
The PRESIDENT of the temporary institutions in Pristina, Hashim Thaci, sent a letter to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, informing him that he would be awarded the medal “Order of Freedom” for his role in reaching an agreement on economic normalization. of relations between Belgrade and Pristina, Reuters reported.
It is the highest decoration awarded by Pristina, while Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, and the special envoy for the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Richard Grenel, will receive the “Presidential Medal of Merit”.
Regarding Pristina’s plan to use the Belgrade deal as pressure on EU members who do not recognize Kosovo, Slobodan Zecevic, associate at the Institute of European Affairs, says it is likely based on Belgrade’s desire to recognize independence. of Kosovo and the assumption that Serbia will. this agreement.
– There is no new vote in the field of EU foreign policy, but as it was not possible to take a unanimous decision on the recognition of Kosovo, that question is left to each member individually. If Serbia recognizes Kosovo through a comprehensive agreement, it would be a strong argument to ask those five countries to do the same, and Brussels could do so, for example, through a recommendation. They are counting on that in Pristina – Zecevic tells us.
The five EU members that did not recognize Kosovo are Cyprus, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain, and the “EUobserver” portal writes that Spain would be ready to recognize Kosovo if an agreement is reached with Serbia.
– Our position is not obstructionist. She is, on the contrary, constructive. The Spanish position can be synthesized in the following sentence: “nothing without an agreement, everything with him”, including political recognition and the establishment of diplomatic relations, as this portal was informed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
