Kosovo FM Enver Hoxhaj says the latest developments in Serbia are a return to the situation from the 1990s and a direction that does not lead to EU integration. “The international community needs to apply pressure so the illegal institutions in northern Kosovo would disappear,” he told Voice of America (VOA), adding that there would be no continuation of the talks between Belgrade and Pristina until the agreements already reached were implemented. Serbia returning to 1990s, Kosovo Albanian official says “Tomislav Nikolic's election for president of Serbia and Ivica Dacic becoming prime minister-designate has caused a disturbance in the Balkans,” he noted. Commenting on the agreements made so far in the talks between Belgrade and Pristina, Hoxhaj stated that Pristina was determined not to continue the talks if the existing agreements were not implemented. He said that Dacic, who served as interior minister in the previous government, was the person to blame for not implementing the agreement on integrated border management and freedom of movement. According to Hoxhaj, Dacic’s statements about making efforts to return Serbian security forces to Kosovo are causing concern in the region. “All this shows that Serbia has returned to an anti-European pathway and nobody knows better than citizens of Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina what the anti-European Serbia means. This is why it is Brussels and western powers’ responsibility to be clear in their attitude toward the government that can be formed in Belgrade very soon,” he explained. The Kosovo foreign minister repeated that the Kosovo was interested in normalizing its relations with Serbia but that the normalization did not mean Serbia’s domination over Kosovo or return of Serbia’s hegemony to Kosovo and other countries in the region.
