TIRANA – EU-brokered Kosovo-Serbia peace talks will resume July, after having stalled in 2018, Europe’s special envoy, Miroslav Lajčák, has said after meeting Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić in Belgrade on Monday.
“Serbia is a part of Europe, your problems are our problems,” Lajčák said as quoted by EUobserver on Tuesday.
The EU envoy spoke after Vučić’s political party won Serbian recent elections amid accusations of fraud by the opposition. He also spoke amid rival US efforts to broker a Kosovo-Serbia.
Talks are expected to be held in Washington on June 27 initiated by Trump’s special envoy Richard Grenell who convinced leaders of Kosovo and Serbia to attend the sudden meeting.
Both Pristina and Belgrade seem confused in face of this discordance between US and EU with the latter having been mediator of the dialogue for many years delivering few results. /argumentum.al
