Serwer to Thaci: Don’t sell Kosovo’s sovereignty for a bowl of porridge GazetaExpress 2-3 minutes _____ According to Serwer if borders are redrawn, Germany, the Netherlands, and other EU members will not approve Kosovo and Serbia’s accession into the EU, Gazeta Express reports. Serwer made the statements during a conference on the Kosovo-Serbia Dialogue dubbed ‘Nomalization or an Aggravated Status Quo.’ Kosovo’s friend explained why according to him President Hashim Thaci gave up the idea on partition of Kosovo. Serwer said that Thaci saw the Belgrade was making progress with the idea in Washington, where there is also an ethnic nationalist administration, Gazeta Express reports. “John Bolton was opposed to Kosovo independence and would be pleased to wreck a Clinton protégé, which Kosovo certainly is. So when Bolton said he would entertain partition ideas if Vucic and Thaci could agree, President Thaci became concerned that he would be outflanked and end up with a one-sided proposition: northern Kosovo would go to Serbia without any gain for the Albanians,” Serwer stated. Talking on the US President Donald Trump’s involvement in the dialogue aimed at reaching a final agreement which does not exclude correction of borders, Serwer says that it would be unforgivable mistake. For Kosovo to sell its sovereignty “for a bowl of porridge, or a Rose Garden ceremony,” referring this to Trump’s letter sent to Kosovo President asking signing of a final agreement between Kosovo and Serbia in 2019. “Ro sell your sovereignty for a bowl of porridge, or a Rose Garden ceremony, would be a historic and unforgivable mistake,” Serwer said. Among other things Serwer said that a land swap in the Balkans would strengthen Russian claims to the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the secession of Transnistria, Donetsk and Luhansk as well as the annexation of Crimea. US analyst said that it would be good for Serbia and Kosovo to give up such idea before is too late. /GazetaExpress/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "serbia" group.
