BELGRADE Johns Hopkins University Professor Daniel Serwer believes that a platform for Kosovo will make the Belgrade-Pristina talks significantly harder. “It seems to me that the platform is a realistic position of Belgrade and that it shows what Serbia really wants. The document makes the negotiations much harder,” he noted, adding that the Serbian Constitution made the negotiating position “almost impossible”. Serbia’s platform will “make negotiations harder” The U.S. analyst believes that Serbia’s Prime Minister Ivica Dacic has so far been handling the difficult Kosovo issue “that has been handed to him” in a way that promises results. “(Serbian President Tomislav) Nikolic now gave him a platform that will surely fail,” Serwer told daily Politika. The daily writes that Serwer strongly criticized the platform on his website several days ago, saying that it was a “giant step back”. He also noted that the new government that in his opinion had made some promising moves “is failing to come to terms with the fact that Kosovo is independent and sovereign”. Serwer said that Serbia had a legitimate interest to protect local Serbs despite the fact that it had lost sovereignty over Kosovo. “This should be a subject of talks with Pristina and not the status that was decided in a political process envisaged by the UN Security Council Resolution 1244,” he was quoted as saying.
